< Psalms 126 >
1 [the] song of The ascents when restored Yahweh [the] restoration of Zion we were like [those who] dream.
“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like them that dream.
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 laughter, And our tongue with singing. Then said they among the nations, “The LORD hath done great things for them!”
3 He has made great Yahweh to do with us we were joyful.
Yea, the LORD hath done great things for us, For which we are glad.
4 Turn back! O Yahweh (captivity our *Q(k)*) like stream-beds in the Negev.
Bring back, O LORD! our captivity, Like streams in the South!
5 Those [who] sow with tear[s] with a shout of joy they will reap.
They who 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.
Yea, he goeth forth weeping, bearing his seed; He shall surely come back rejoicing, bearing his sheaves.
