Blessings, Birkat HaMazon

1On day when one does not read Tachanun:

2Song of Ascents. When we we returned to Zion, we were like dreamers. Our mouths and filled with laughter and our tongues with joy. So shall the nations say: "Hashem has done greatly with this people, so has Hashem done with us, and our lives are joyful. Return us, Hashem, from our exile, as streams to the Negev [desert]. In sadness may one sow, but in joyous song shall one reap. One who walks in tears bearing seed, shall joyfully bear sheaves [of grain].
