< Psalms 126 >
1 A Song of degrees. When Jehovah turned the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
上主帶領俘虜回到熙雍,我們覺得仿佛是在夢中;
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with rejoicing: then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.
那時我們滿口喜氣盈盈,我們雙脣其樂融融。那時外邦異民讚歎不已:上主向他們行了何等奇事!
3 Jehovah hath done great things for us; [and] we are joyful.
上主向我們行偉大奇蹟,我們的確覺得滿心歡喜。
4 Turn our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the south.
上主,求您轉變我們的命運!就像乃革布有流水的澆淋。
5 They that sow in tears shall reap with rejoicing:
含淚播種的人,必含笑的收成;
6 He goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for scattering; he cometh again with rejoicing, bearing his sheaves.
他們邊行邊哭,出去播種耕耘,他們載欣載奔,回來背著禾捆。
