Psalms 126

1 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

Nyanyian ziarah. Ketika TUHAN memulihkan keadaan Yerusalem, kita seperti bermimpi!

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.

Kita terus tertawa dan menyanyi gembira sehingga bangsa-bangsa lain berkata, "TUHAN telah melakukan hal-hal yang hebat bagi mereka!"

3 The LORD has done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

Memang TUHAN telah melakukan hal-hal yang hebat bagi kita! Sebab itulah kita bersukacita!

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

Ya TUHAN, pulihkanlah keadaan kami, seperti sungai kering berair lagi di musim hujan.

5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Semoga orang yang menabur sambil menangis, menuai dengan sorak-sorai.

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

Orang pergi menabur benih di ladangnya, sambil bercucuran air mata. Ia pulang dengan menyanyi gembira membawa berkas-berkas panenannya.
