< Psalms 126 >
1 A Song of Ascents. When Yahweh brought back the captives of Zion, we were like them who 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 a shout of triumph, —Then, said they among the nations, Yahweh, hath done great things, with these!
da fyldtes vor Mund med Latter, vor Tunge med Frydesang; da hed det blandt Folkene: "HERREN har gjort store Ting imod dem!"
3 Yahweh, hath done great things with us, we are full of joy!
HERREN har gjort store Ting imod os, og vi blev glade.
4 Bring thou back, O Yahweh, our captives, like channels in the South.
Vend, o Herre, vort Fangenskab, som Sydlandets Strømme!
5 They who are sowing with tears, with shouting, shall reap:
De; som sår med Gråd, skal høste med Frydesang;
6 He that, doth indeed go forth, and weep, bearing seed enough to trail along, doth, surely come in, with shouting, bringing his sheaves.
de går deres Gang med Gråd, når de udstrør Sæden, med Frydesang kommer de hjem, bærende deres Neg.
