When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.
2
Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.

The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

Yahweh has done great things for us, and we are glad.

Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

Restore our fortunes again, Yahweh, like the streams in the Negev.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
