תְהִלִּים 126

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

When Adonai brought back those who teshuvah ·completely returned· to Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], we were like those who dream.

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

Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, “Adonai has done great things for them.”

3 הִגְדִּ֣יל יְ֭הוָה לַעֲשֹׂ֥ות עִמָּ֗נוּ הָיִ֥ינוּ שְׂמֵחִֽים׃

Adonai has done great things for us, and we are glad.

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

Restore our fortunes again, Adonai, like the streams in the Negev.

5 הַזֹּרְעִ֥ים בְּדִמְעָ֗ה בְּרִנָּ֥ה יִקְצֹֽרוּ׃

Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

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

He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
