Then our (A)mouth was filled with laughter,
    and our tongue with shouts of joy;
then they said among the nations,
    (B)“The Lord has done great things for them.”

    we are glad.

Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
    like streams in the Negeb!
(C)Those who sow in tears
    shall reap with shouts of joy!
