Like people dreaming

When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like people dreaming. Then our mouth was filled with laughter and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, 'The LORD has done great things for them.' The LORD has done great things for us, and we're glad. Turn again our captivity, LORD, like the streams in the south. Those who sow in tears will reap in joy. The one who goes out weeping, carrying precious seed, will surely come back rejoicing, carrying his sheaves with him.

When the Lord brought Zion back from where she'd been taken, we were like people dreaming. Then our mouth was filled with laughing and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations: The Lord has done great things for them. The Lord has done great things for us, and we're glad. Bring us back from where we've been taken, Lord, like the streams in the south. The ones who sow in tears will reap with singing. Whoever goes out weeping, carrying good seed, will come back with singing for sure, carrying his sheaves.

When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. 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. Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
