| 1A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. | 1A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back the captive ones of Zion, We were like those who dream. |
| 2Then 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. | 2Then 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." |
| 3The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. | 3The LORD has done great things for us; We are glad. |
| 4Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south. | 4Restore our captivity, O LORD, As the streams in the South. |
| 5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. | 5Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting. |
| 6He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. | 6He 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. |
