< Psalms 126 >

1 A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back those that returned to Zion, we were like unto them that dream.
Sang til Festrejserne. Da HERREN hjemførte Zions Fanger, var vi som drømmende;
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing; then said they among the nations: 'The LORD hath done great things with these.'
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 hath done great things with us; we are rejoiced.
HERREN har gjort store Ting imod os, og vi blev glade.
4 Turn our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the dry land.
Vend, o Herre, vort Fangenskab, som Sydlandets Strømme!
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
De, som saar med Graad, skal høste med Frydesang;
6 Though he goeth on his way weeping that beareth the measure of seed, he shall come home with joy, bearing his sheaves.
de gaar deres Gang med Graad, naar de udstrør Sæden, med Frydesang kommer de hjem, bærende deres Neg.
