¹ When the Lord brought the prisoners back to Jerusalem,
    it seemed as if we were dreaming.
² Then we were filled with laughter,
    and we sang happy songs.
Then the other nations said,
    "The Lord has done great things for them."
³ The Lord has done great things for us,
    and we are very glad.

⁴ Lord, return our prisoners again,
    as you bring streams to the desert.
⁵ Those who cry as they plant crops
    will sing at harvest time.
⁶ Those who cry
    as they carry out the seeds
will return singing
    and carrying bundles of grain.
