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