< Psalms 126 >
1 [the] song of The ascents when restored Yahweh [the] restoration of Zion we were like [those who] dream.
A Song of Degrees. When the Lord turned the captivity of Sion, we became as comforted ones.
2 Then it was filled laughter mouth our and tongue our a shout of joy then people said among the nations he has made great Yahweh to do with these [people].
Then was our mouth filled with joy, and our tongue with exultation: then would they say among the Gentiles,
3 He has made great Yahweh to do with us we were joyful.
The Lord has done great things among them. The Lord has done great things for us, we became joyful.
4 Turn back! O Yahweh (captivity our *Q(k)*) like stream-beds in the Negev.
Turn, O Lord, our captivity, as the steams in the south.
5 Those [who] sow with tear[s] with a shout of joy they will reap.
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6 Certainly he will go - and weeping carrying bag of seed certainly he will come with a shout of joy carrying sheaves his.
They went on and wept as they cast their seeds; but they shall surely come with exultation, bringing their sheaves [with them].
