A Song of Ascents.When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion,We were like unto them that dream.
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.
Jehovah hath done great things for us,Whereof we are glad.
and the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers:The snare is broken, and we are escaped.
A Song of Ascents.They that trust in JehovahAre as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.
As the mountains are round about Jerusalem,So Jehovah is round about his peopleFrom this time forth and for evermore.
For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous;That the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.
Do good, O Jehovah, unto those that are good,And to them that are upright in their hearts.
But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways,Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity.Peace be upon Israel.

Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah,As the streams in the South.
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
He that goeth forth and weepeth, {Or, bearing the measure of seed}bearing seed for sowing,Shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
