< Psalms 126 >

1 A Canticle in steps. When the Lord turned back the captivity of Zion, we became like those who are consoled.
Sang til Festrejserne. Da HERREN hjemførte Zions Fanger, var vi som drømmende;
2 Then our mouth was filled with gladness and our tongue with exultation. Then they will say 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 have become joyful.
HERREN har gjort store Ting imod os, og vi blev glade.
4 Convert our captivity, O Lord, like a torrent in the south.
Vend, o Herre, vort Fangenskab, som Sydlandets Strømme!
5 Those who sow in tears shall reap in exultation.
De, som saar med Graad, skal høste med Frydesang;
6 When departing, they went forth and wept, sowing their seeds. But when returning, they will arrive with exultation, carrying their sheaves.
de gaar deres Gang med Graad, naar de udstrør Sæden, med Frydesang kommer de hjem, bærende deres Neg.
