Thanksgiving for Return from Captivity.
A Song of Ascents.
1 When the Loʀᴅ APs 85:1; Jer 29:14; Hos 6:11brought back 1Or those who returned tothe captive ones of Zion,
We were BActs 12:9like those who dream.
2 Then our AJob 8:21mouth was filled with laughter
And our BPs 51:14; Is 35:6tongue with joyful shouting;
Then they said among the nations,
“The Loʀᴅ has C1 Sam 12:24; Ps 71:19; Luke 1:49done great things for them.”
3 The Loʀᴅ has done great things for us;
We are AIs 25:9; Zeph 3:14glad.
 
4 Restore our captivity, O Loʀᴅ,
As the 1Lit stream-bedsAIs 35:6; 43:19streams in the 2Heb NegevSouth.
5 Those who sow in APs 80:5; Jer 31:9, 16; Lam 1:2tears shall reap with BIs 35:10; 51:11; 61:7; Gal 6:9joyful 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.
