1
When the Lord brought back his exiles to Jerusalem, 1
it was like a dream!
2
We were filled with laughter,
and we sang for joy.
And the other nations said,
“What amazing things the Lord has done for them.”
3
Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us!
What joy!
4
Restore our fortunes, Lord ,
as streams renew the desert.
5
Those who plant in tears
will harvest with shouts of joy.
6
They weep as they go to plant their seed,
but they sing as they return with the harvest.
