1 A Song of the Ascents. In Jehovah`s turning back [to] the  captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers.
         
                                
                        2 Then filled [with] laughter is our mouth, And our tongue  [with] singing, Then do they say among nations, `Jehovah did  great things with these.`
         
                                
                        3 Jehovah did great things with us, We have been joyful.
         
                                
                        4 Turn again, O Jehovah, [to] our captivity, As streams in  the south.
         
                                
                        5 Those sowing in tears, with singing do reap,
         
                                
                        6 Whoso goeth on and weepeth, Bearing the basket of seed,  Surely cometh in with singing, bearing his sheaves!
