1When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלֹות בְּשׁוּב יְהוָה אֶת־שִׁיבַת צִיֹּון הָיִינוּ כְּחֹלְמִים׃ (2895)
2Then 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.
אָז יִמָּלֵא שְׂחֹוק פִּינוּ וּלְשֹׁונֵנוּ רִנָּה אָז יֹאמְרוּ בַגֹּויִם הִגְדִּיל יְהוָה לַעֲשֹׂות עִם־אֵלֶּה׃ (2708)
3The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
הִגְדִּיל יְהוָה לַעֲשֹׂות עִמָּנוּ הָיִינוּ שְׂמֵחִים׃ (1529)
4Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.
שׁוּבָה יְהוָה אֶת־ [שְׁבוּתֵנוּ כ] (שְׁבִיתֵנוּ ק) כַּאֲפִיקִים בַּנֶּגֶב׃ (2710)
6He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
הָלֹוךְ יֵלֵךְ ׀ וּבָכֹה נֹשֵׂא מֶשֶׁךְ־הַזָּרַע בֹּא־יָבֹוא בְרִנָּה נֹשֵׂא אֲלֻמֹּתָיו׃ (2264)
