< Psalms 126 >
1 A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers.
Nyanyian ziarah. Ketika TUHAN memulihkan keadaan Yerusalem, kita seperti bermimpi!
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.”
Kita terus tertawa dan menyanyi gembira sehingga bangsa-bangsa lain berkata, "TUHAN telah melakukan hal-hal yang hebat bagi mereka!"
3 The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.
Memang TUHAN telah melakukan hal-hal yang hebat bagi kita! Sebab itulah kita bersukacita!
4 Restore our captives, O LORD, like streams in the Negev.
Ya TUHAN, pulihkanlah keadaan kami, seperti sungai kering berair lagi di musim hujan.
5 Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.
Semoga orang yang menabur sambil menangis, menuai dengan sorak-sorai.
6 He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.
Orang pergi menabur benih di ladangnya, sambil bercucuran air mata. Ia pulang dengan menyanyi gembira membawa berkas-berkas panenannya.
