Zion's Restoration
1 When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion, We were like unto them that dream.
1 {A Song of degrees.} When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
1 A Song of Ascents.When the Lord (A)brought back (a)the captive ones of Zion,We were (B)like those who dream.
1 When the LORD brought back Zion's exiles, we were like dreamers.
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing: Then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.
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.
2 Then our (C)mouth was filled with laughterAnd our (D)tongue with joyful shouting;Then they said among the nations,“The Lord has (E)done great things for them.”
2 Our mouths were filled with laughter then,(B)and our tongues with shouts of joy.(C)Then they said among the nations,“The Lord has done great things for them.”(D)
2 Then our mouths were filled with laughter, and our tongues formed joyful shouts. Then it was said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."
6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves with him .
6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
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.
6 Though one goes along weeping,carrying the bag of seed,he will surely come back with shouts of joy,carrying his sheaves.(H)
6 The one who goes out weeping, carrying a bag of seeds, will surely return with a joyful song, bearing sheaves from his harvest. A Solomonic Song of Ascents
