Psalmi 126

1 Hodočasnička pjesma. Kad Jahve vraćaše sužnjeve sionske, bilo nam je k'o da snivamo.

When Jehovah brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

2 Usta nam bjehu puna smijeha, a jezik klicanja. Među poganima tad se govorilo: “Velika im djela Jahve učini!”

Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, Jehovah has done great things for them.

3 Velika nam djela učini Jahve: opet smo radosni!

Jehovah has done great things for us. We are glad.

4 Vrati, o Jahve, sužnjeve naše k'o potoke negepske!

Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the South.

5 Oni koji siju u suzama, žanju u pjesmi.

Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6 Išli su plačući noseći sjeme sjetveno: vraćat će se s pjesmom, noseći snoplje svoje.

He who goes forth and weeps, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves.
