Psalms 126

1 When Yahweh brought [us Israeli people] back to Jerusalem (OR, enabled us Israelis to prosper again), [it was wonderful]; it seemed as though [SIM] we were dreaming.

上行之詩。 當耶和華將那些被擄的帶回錫安的時候， 我們好像做夢的人。

2 We were extremely happy, and we [SYN] continued shouting joyfully. Then the [other] people-groups said about us, “Yahweh has done great things for them!”

我們滿口喜笑、 滿舌歡呼的時候， 外邦中就有人說： 耶和華為他們行了大事！

3 [And we say, “Yes], Yahweh [truly] has done great things for us, and we are [very] happy.”

耶和華果然為我們行了大事， 我們就歡喜。

4 Yahweh, when it rains, water flows in the streams again [after they were dry] [SIM]. Similarly, enable our nation to become great again like it was before.

耶和華啊，求你使我們被擄的人歸回， 好像南地的河水復流。

5 We cried when we planted [seeds because it was hard work preparing the soil that had not been plowed for many years]; [now we want to] shout joyfully because we are gathering a [big] harvest.

流淚撒種的， 必歡呼收割！

6 Those who cried as they carried the [bags of] seeds [to the fields] will shout joyfully when they bring the crops [to their houses at harvest time].

那帶種流淚出去的， 必要歡歡樂樂地帶禾捆回來！
