< Psalms 126 >
1 When the lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.
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 gladness; and our tongue with joy. Then shall they say among the Gentiles: The Lord 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 The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.
上主向我們行偉大奇蹟,我們的確覺得滿心歡喜。
4 Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream 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 in joy.
含淚播種的人,必含笑的收成;
6 Going they went and wept, casting their seeds. But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their 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。
