When the Lord brought us back to Jerusalem, it was like a dream !
How we laughed, how we sang for joy ! Then the other nations said about us, "The Lord did great things for them."
Indeed he did great things for us; how happy we were !
Lord, make us prosperous again, just as the rain brings water back to dry riverbeds.
Let those who wept as they planted their crops, gather the harvest with joy !
Those who wept as they went out carrying the seed will come back singing for joy, as they bring in the harvest.
