< Psalms 126 >
1 [A Song of Ascents.] When the LORD brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.
Sang til Festrejserne. Da HERREN hjemførte Zions Fanger, var vi som drømmende;
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, "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, and we are glad.
HERREN har gjort store Ting imod os, og vi blev glade.
4 Restore our fortunes again, LORD, like the streams in the Negev.
Vend, o Herre, vort Fangenskab, som Sydlandets Strømme!
5 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
De, som saar med Graad, skal høste med Frydesang;
6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
de gaar deres Gang med Graad, naar de udstrør Sæden, med Frydesang kommer de hjem, bærende deres Neg.
