Sòm 126

1 Yon chan pou monte vè tanp lan Lè SENYÈ a te fè mennen tounen kaptif Sion yo, nou te tankou (sila) ki fè rèv yo.

“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 Nan lè sa a, bouch nou te plen ak ri lajwa e lang nou avèk kri lajwa. Konsa, yo te di pami nasyon yo: “SENYÈ a te fè gwo bagay pou yo.”

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 SENYÈ a te fè gwo bagay yo pou nou. Nou kontan.

Yea, the LORD hath done great things for us, For which we are glad.

4 Fè retounen kaptif nou yo, O SENYÈ, kon rivyè nan dezè a.

Bring back, O LORD! our captivity, Like streams in the South!

5 (Sila) ki simen ak dlo nan zye yo Va rekòlte avèk gwo kri lajwa.

They who sow in tears Shall reap in joy.

6 (Sila) ki soti ap kriye akoz chàj makout semans lan. Men l ap retounen ankò ak kri lajwa, akoz chàj pakèt rekòlt l ap pote a.

Yea, he goeth forth weeping, bearing his seed; He shall surely come back rejoicing, bearing his sheaves.
