< Salme 126 >

1 Sang til Festrejserne. Da HERREN hjemførte Zions Fanger, var vi som drømmende;
A Song of Ascents. When Yahweh brought back the captives of Zion, we were like them who 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 a shout of triumph, —Then, said they among the nations, Yahweh, hath done great things, with these!
3 HERREN har gjort store Ting imod os, og vi blev glade.
Yahweh, hath done great things with us, we are full of joy!
4 Vend, o Herre, vort Fangenskab, som Sydlandets Strømme!
Bring thou back, O Yahweh, our captives, like channels in the South.
5 De, som saar med Graad, skal høste med Frydesang;
They who are sowing with tears, with shouting, shall reap:
6 de gaar deres Gang med Graad, naar de udstrør Sæden, med Frydesang kommer de hjem, bærende deres Neg.
He that, doth indeed go forth, and weep, bearing seed enough to trail along, doth, surely come in, with shouting, bringing his sheaves.
