Psalms 126

1 A Song of the Ascents. In Jehovah's turning back [to] the captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers.

Nyanyian ziarah. Ketika TUHAN memulihkan keadaan Yerusalem, kita seperti bermimpi!

2 Then filled [with] laughter is our mouth, And our tongue [with] singing, Then do they say among nations, 'Jehovah did great things with these.'

Kita terus tertawa dan menyanyi gembira sehingga bangsa-bangsa lain berkata, "TUHAN telah melakukan hal-hal yang hebat bagi mereka!"

3 Jehovah did great things with us, We have been joyful.

Memang TUHAN telah melakukan hal-hal yang hebat bagi kita! Sebab itulah kita bersukacita!

4 Turn again, O Jehovah, [to] our captivity, As streams in the south.

Ya TUHAN, pulihkanlah keadaan kami, seperti sungai kering berair lagi di musim hujan.

5 Those sowing in tears, with singing do reap,

Semoga orang yang menabur sambil menangis, menuai dengan sorak-sorai.

6 Whoso goeth on and weepeth, Bearing the basket of seed, Surely cometh in with singing, bearing his sheaves!

Orang pergi menabur benih di ladangnya, sambil bercucuran air mata. Ia pulang dengan menyanyi gembira membawa berkas-berkas panenannya.
