< תהילים 126 >

שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת בְּשׁוּב יְהֹוָה אֶת־שִׁיבַת צִיּוֹן הָיִינוּ כְּחֹלְמִֽים׃ 1
When Jehovah brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.
אָז יִמָּלֵא שְׂחוֹק פִּינוּ וּלְשׁוֹנֵנוּ רִנָּה אָז יֹאמְרוּ בַגּוֹיִם הִגְדִּיל יְהֹוָה לַעֲשׂוֹת עִם־אֵֽלֶּה׃ 2
Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, Jehovah has done great things for them.
הִגְדִּיל יְהֹוָה לַעֲשׂוֹת עִמָּנוּ הָיִינוּ שְׂמֵחִֽים׃ 3
Jehovah has done great things for us. We are glad.
שׁוּבָה יְהֹוָה אֶת־[שְׁבִיתֵנוּ] (שבותנו) כַּאֲפִיקִים בַּנֶּֽגֶב׃ 4
Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the South.
הַזֹּרְעִים בְּדִמְעָה בְּרִנָּה יִקְצֹֽרוּ׃ 5
Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.
הָלוֹךְ יֵלֵךְ ׀ וּבָכֹה נֹשֵׂא מֶשֶׁךְ־הַזָּרַע בֹּא־יָבֹא בְרִנָּה נֹשֵׂא אֲלֻמֹּתָֽיו׃ 6
He who goes forth and weeps, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves.
