Psalms 126

1 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like 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 heathen, 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; whereof we are glad.

HERREN har gjort store Ting imod os, og vi blev glade.

4 Return our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

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 He that goes forth and weeps, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

de gaar deres Gang med Graad, naar de udstrør Sæden, med Frydesang kommer de hjem, bærende deres Neg.
