< Salme 126 >
1 Sang til Festrejserne. Da HERREN hjemførte Zions Fanger, var vi som drømmende;
A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers.
2 da fyldtes vor Mund med Latter, vor Tunge med Frydesang; da hed det blandt Folkene: »HERREN har gjort store Ting imod dem!«
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.”
3 HERREN har gjort store Ting imod os, og vi blev glade.
The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.
4 Vend, o Herre, vort Fangenskab, som Sydlandets Strømme!
Restore our captives, O LORD, like streams in the Negev.
5 De, som saar med Graad, skal høste med Frydesang;
Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.
6 de gaar deres Gang med Graad, naar de udstrør Sæden, med Frydesang kommer de hjem, bærende deres Neg.
He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.
