Salme 126

1 Sang til Festrejserne. Da HERREN hjemførte Zions Fanger, var vi som drømmende;

A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back those that returned to Zion, we were like unto them that dream.

2 da fyldtes vor Mund med Latter, vor Tunge med Frydesang; da hed det blandt Folkene: »HERREN har gjort store Ting imod dem!«

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing; then said they among the nations: 'The LORD hath done great things with these.'

3 HERREN har gjort store Ting imod os, og vi blev glade.

The LORD hath done great things with us; we are rejoiced.

4 Vend, o Herre, vort Fangenskab, som Sydlandets Strømme!

Turn our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the dry land.

5 De, som saar med Graad, skal høste med Frydesang;

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6 de gaar deres Gang med Graad, naar de udstrør Sæden, med Frydesang kommer de hjem, bærende deres Neg.

Though he goeth on his way weeping that beareth the measure of seed, he shall come home with joy, bearing his sheaves.
