Psalms 126

1 A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back those that returned to Zion, we were like unto them that dream.

Svētku dziesma. Kad Tas Kungs atkal atveda Ciānas cietumniekus, tad mēs bijām tā kā kas sapņus redz;

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.'

Tad mūsu mute bija pilna smiešanās un mūsu mēle pilna gavilēšanas; tad sacīja starp pagāniem: Tas Kungs lielas lietas pie šiem ir darījis.

3 The LORD hath done great things with us; we are rejoiced.

Tas Kungs lielas lietas pie mums ir darījis, par to priecājamies.

4 Turn our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the dry land.

Ak Kungs, atved atpakaļ mūsu cietumniekus, kā upes dienvidu zemē!

5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Kas ar asarām sēj, ar gavilēšanu pļaus;

6 Though he goeth on his way weeping that beareth the measure of seed, he shall come home with joy, bearing his sheaves.

Tie aiziet un raud, dārgu sēklu nesdami, bet tiešām ar prieku tie atkal nāks un nesīs savus kūlīšus.
