< Mazmur 126 >
1 Nyanyian ziarah. Ketika TUHAN memulihkan keadaan Yerusalem, kita seperti bermimpi!
A song of ascents. When the Lord turned the fortunes of Zion, we were like dreamers.
2 Kita terus tertawa dan menyanyi gembira sehingga bangsa-bangsa lain berkata, "TUHAN telah melakukan hal-hal yang hebat bagi mereka!"
Then was our mouth filled with laughter, our tongue with glad shouts; then among the nations they said, “The Lord has dealt greatly with them.”
3 Memang TUHAN telah melakukan hal-hal yang hebat bagi kita! Sebab itulah kita bersukacita!
The Lord had dealt greatly with us, and we were rejoicing.
4 Ya TUHAN, pulihkanlah keadaan kami, seperti sungai kering berair lagi di musim hujan.
Turn our fortunes, O Lord, as the streams in the Negreb.
5 Semoga orang yang menabur sambil menangis, menuai dengan sorak-sorai.
They who sow in tears shall reap with glad shouts.
6 Orang pergi menabur benih di ladangnya, sambil bercucuran air mata. Ia pulang dengan menyanyi gembira membawa berkas-berkas panenannya.
Forth they fare, with their burden of seed, and they weep as they go. But home, home, with glad shouts they shall come with their arms full of sheaves.
