A song for going up to the Temple.[604]
<1> It will be like a dream
when the Lord comes back with the captives of Zion.[605]
<2> We will laugh and sing happy songs!
Then people in other nations will say,
"The Lord did a great thing for Zion!"
<3> Yes, the Lord will have done a great thing for us, and we will be happy.
<4> So Lord, bring back the good times,
like a desert stream filled again with flowing water.
<5> Then those who were sad while planting seeds
will be happy when they gather the crops!
<6> And those who cried while carrying the seeds[606]
will be happy when they bring in the crops!
