< Psalms 126 >
1 [the] song of The ascents when restored Yahweh [the] restoration of Zion we were like [those who] dream.
A song of ascents. When the Lord turned the fortunes of Zion, we were like dreamers.
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, our tongue with glad shouts; then among the nations they said, ‘The Lord has dealt greatly with them.’
3 He has made great Yahweh to do with us we were joyful.
The Lord had dealt greatly with us, and we were rejoicing.
4 Turn back! O Yahweh (captivity our *Q(k)*) like stream-beds in the Negev.
Turn our fortunes, O Lord, as the streams in the Negreb.
5 Those [who] sow with tear[s] with a shout of joy they will reap.
They who sow in tears shall reap with glad shouts.
6 Certainly he will go - and weeping carrying bag of seed certainly he will come with a shout of joy carrying sheaves his.
Forth they fare, with their burden of seed, and they weep as they go. But home, home, with glad shouts they shall come with their arms full of sheaves.
