| 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. | 2Then our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.” |
| 3The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. | 3The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy. |
| 4Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south. | 4Restore our captives, O LORD, like streams in the Negev. |
| 5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. | 5Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy. |
| 6He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. | 6He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain. |
