תהילים 126

1 שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת בְּשׁוּב יְהוָה אֶת־שִׁיבַת צִיּוֹן הָיִינוּ כְּחֹלְמִֽים׃

A Song of Degrees. When the Lord turned the captivity of Sion, we became as comforted ones.

2 אָז יִמָּלֵא שְׂחוֹק פִּינוּ וּלְשׁוֹנֵנוּ רִנָּה אָז יֹאמְרוּ בַגּוֹיִם הִגְדִּיל יְהוָה לַעֲשׂוֹת עִם־אֵֽלֶּה׃

Then was our mouth filled with joy, and our tongue with exultation: then would they say among the Gentiles,

3 הִגְדִּיל יְהוָה לַעֲשׂוֹת עִמָּנוּ הָיִינוּ שְׂמֵחִֽים׃

The Lord has done great things among them. The Lord has done great things for us, we became joyful.

4 שׁוּבָה יְהוָה אֶת־שבותנו שְׁבִיתֵנוּ כַּאֲפִיקִים בַּנֶּֽגֶב׃

Turn, O Lord, our captivity, as the steams in the south.

5 הַזֹּרְעִים בְּדִמְעָה בְּרִנָּה יִקְצֹֽרוּ׃

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6 הָלוֹךְ יֵלֵךְ ׀ וּבָכֹה נֹשֵׂא מֶֽשֶׁךְ־הַזָּרַע בֹּֽא־יָבוֹא בְרִנָּה נֹשֵׂא אֲלֻמֹּתָֽיו׃

They went on and wept as they cast their seeds; but they shall surely come with exultation, bringing their sheaves [with them].
