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.

שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת בְּשׁוּב יְהוָה אֶת־שִׁיבַת צִיּוֹן הָיִינוּ כְּחֹלְמִֽים׃

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.

אָז יִמָּלֵא שְׂחוֹק פִּינוּ וּלְשׁוֹנֵנוּ רִנָּה אָז יֹאמְרוּ בַגּוֹיִם הִגְדִּיל יְהוָה לַעֲשׂוֹת עִם־אֵֽלֶּה׃

3 The Lord has done great things for us; because of which we are glad.

הִגְדִּיל יְהוָה לַעֲשׂוֹת עִמָּנוּ הָיִינוּ שְׂמֵחִֽים׃

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

שׁוּבָה יְהוָה אֶת־שבותנו שְׁבִיתֵנוּ כַּאֲפִיקִים בַּנֶּֽגֶב׃

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

הַזֹּרְעִים בְּדִמְעָה בְּרִנָּה יִקְצֹֽרוּ׃

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.

הָלוֹךְ יֵלֵךְ ׀ וּבָכֹה נֹשֵׂא מֶֽשֶׁךְ־הַזָּרַע בֹּֽא־יָבוֹא בְרִנָּה נֹשֵׂא אֲלֻמֹּתָֽיו׃
