| 1 | When the lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted. |
| 2 | Then was our mouth filled with gladness; and our tongue with joy. Then shall they say among the Gentiles: The Lord hath done great things for them. |
| 3 | The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful. |
| 4 | Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south. |
| 5 | They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. |
| 6 | Going they went and wept, casting their seeds. |
| 7 | But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves. |
