WHEN the Lord turned again the captivity of Sion : then were we like unto them that dream.
² Then was our mouth filled with laughter : and our tongue with joy.
³ Then said they among the heathen : The Lord hath done great things for them.
⁴ Yea, the Lord hath done great things for us already : whereof we rejoice.
⁵ Turn our captivity, O Lord : as the rivers in the south.
⁶ They that sow in tears : shall reap in joy.
⁷ He that now goeth on his way weeping, and beareth forth good seed : shall doubtless come again with joy, and bring his sheaves with him.
