< Psalms 126 >
1 A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.
Nyanyian ziarah. Ketika TUHAN memulihkan keadaan Yerusalem, kita seperti bermimpi!
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”
Kita terus tertawa dan menyanyi gembira sehingga bangsa-bangsa lain berkata, "TUHAN telah melakukan hal-hal yang hebat bagi mereka!"
3 The LORD has done great things for us, and we are glad.
Memang TUHAN telah melakukan hal-hal yang hebat bagi kita! Sebab itulah kita bersukacita!
4 Restore our fortunes again, LORD, like the streams in the Negev.
Ya TUHAN, pulihkanlah keadaan kami, seperti sungai kering berair lagi di musim hujan.
5 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
Semoga orang yang menabur sambil menangis, menuai dengan sorak-sorai.
6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
Orang pergi menabur benih di ladangnya, sambil bercucuran air mata. Ia pulang dengan menyanyi gembira membawa berkas-berkas panenannya.
