Thanksgiving for Return from Captivity.

A Song of Ascents.

1 When the LORD brought back the captive ones of Zion,
         We were like those who dream.
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter
         And our tongue with joyful shouting;
         Then they said among the nations,
         “The LORD has done great things for them.”
3 The LORD has done great things for us;
         We are glad.
4 Restore our captivity, O LORD,
         As the streams in the South.
5 Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting.
6 He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed,
         Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
