Verse	BSB	KJV	WEB	ASV
1	When the Lord restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers.	When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.	When the Lord brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.	When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion, We were like unto them that dream.
2	Then 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.”	Then 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.	Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.”	Then was our mouth filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing: Then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.
3	The Lord has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.	The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.	The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad.	Jehovah hath done great things for us, Whereof we are glad.
4	Restore our captives, O Lord, like streams in the Negev.	Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south.	Restore our fortunes again, Lord, like the streams in the Negev.	Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, As the streams in the South.
5	Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.	They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.	Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.	They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6	He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.	He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.	He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.	He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
