The captives of Zion restored

1
When Yahweh made Jerusalem prosperous again, it was wonderful; it seemed as though we were dreaming.
2
We were extremely happy, and we continued shouting joyfully. Then the other people groups said about us, “Yahweh has done great things for them!”
3
We said, “Yes, Yahweh truly has done great things for us, and we are very happy.”
4
Restore us, O Yahweh, like the rains that fill the streams in the southern Judean wilderness. Enable our nation to become great again like it was before.
5
We cried when we planted seeds because it was hard work preparing the soil that had not been plowed for many years; now we want to shout joyfully because we are gathering a big harvest.
6
Those who cried as they carried the bags of seeds to the fields will shout joyfully when they bring the crops to their houses at harvest time.
