1 A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord. Our enemies took us away from Zion. But when the Lord brought us home, it seemed like a dream to us.
2 Our mouths were filled with laughter. Our tongues sang with joy. Then the people of other nations said, "The Lord has done great things for them."
3 The Lord has done great things for us. And we are filled with joy.
4 Lord, bless us with great success again, as rain makes streams flow in the Negev Desert.
5 Those who cry as they plant their crops will sing with joy when they gather them in.
6 Those who go out sobbing as they carry seeds to plant will come back singing with joy. They will bring the new crop back with them.
