1A Song of Ascents. When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. (诗14:7; 诗120:1; 徒12:9)2Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.” (伯8:21; 诗71:19)3The Lord has done great things for us; we are glad.4Restore our fortunes, O Lord, like streams in the Negeb!5Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy! (拉6:22; 尼12:43; 耶31:9; 该2:3; 加6:9)6He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
