תְהִלִּים 126

1 שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲלֹ֥ות בְּשׁ֣וּב יְ֭הוָה אֶת־שִׁיבַ֣ת צִיֹּ֑ון הָ֝יִ֗ינוּ כְּחֹלְמִֽים׃

A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back those that returned to Zion, we were like unto them that dream.

2 אָ֤ז יִמָּלֵ֪א שְׂחֹ֡וק פִּינוּ֮ וּלְשֹׁונֵ֪נוּ רִ֫נָּ֥ה אָ֭ז יֹאמְר֣וּ בַגֹּויִ֑ם הִגְדִּ֥יל יְ֝הוָ֗ה לַעֲשֹׂ֥ות עִם־אֵֽלֶּה׃

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing; then said they among the nations: 'The LORD hath done great things with these.'

3 הִגְדִּ֣יל יְ֭הוָה לַעֲשֹׂ֥ות עִמָּ֗נוּ הָיִ֥ינוּ שְׂמֵחִֽים׃

The LORD hath done great things with us; we are rejoiced.

4 שׁוּבָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה אֶת־שְׁבוּתֵנוּ (שְׁבִיתֵ֑נוּ) כַּאֲפִיקִ֥ים בַּנֶּֽגֶב׃

Turn our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the dry land.

5 הַזֹּרְעִ֥ים בְּדִמְעָ֗ה בְּרִנָּ֥ה יִקְצֹֽרוּ׃

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6 הָ֘לֹ֤וךְ יֵלֵ֨ךְ ׀ וּבָכֹה֮ נֹשֵׂ֪א מֶֽשֶׁךְ־הַ֫זָּ֥רַע בֹּֽא־יָבֹ֥וא בְרִנָּ֑ה נֹ֝שֵׂ֗א אֲלֻמֹּתָֽיו׃

Though he goeth on his way weeping that beareth the measure of seed, he shall come home with joy, bearing his sheaves.
