| 1 | {A Song of degrees.} When Jehovah turned the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. |
| 2 | Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with rejoicing: then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them. |
| 3 | Jehovah hath done great things for us; [and] we are joyful. |
| 4 | Turn our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the south. |
| 5 | They that sow in tears shall reap with rejoicing: |
| 6 | He goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for scattering; he cometh again with rejoicing, bearing his sheaves. |
