Psalms 126

1 A Song of the going up. When the Lord made a change in Zion's fate, we were like men in a dream.

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

2 Then our mouths were full of laughing, and our tongues gave a glad cry; they 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; because of which we are glad.

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

4 Let our fate be changed, O Lord, like the streams in the South.

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

5 Those who put in seed with weeping will get in the grain with cries of joy.

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

6 Though a man may go out weeping, taking his vessel of seed with him; he will come again in joy, with the corded stems of grain in his arms.

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