< Psalms 126 >
1 A Song of Ascents. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like unto them that dream.
上主帶領俘虜回到熙雍,我們覺得仿佛是在夢中;
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 for them.
那時我們滿口喜氣盈盈,我們雙脣其樂融融。那時外邦異民讚歎不已:上主向他們行了何等奇事!
3 The LORD hath done great things for us; [whereof] we are glad.
上主向我們行偉大奇蹟,我們的確覺得滿心歡喜。
4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the South.
上主,求您轉變我們的命運!就像乃革布有流水的澆淋。
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
含淚播種的人,必含笑的收成;
6 Though he goeth on his way weeping, bearing forth the seed; he shall come again with joy, bringing his sheaves [with him].
他們邊行邊哭,出去播種耕耘,他們載欣載奔,回來背著禾捆。
