시편 126

1 (성전에 올라가는 노래) 여호와께서 시온의 포로를 돌리실 때에 우리가 꿈꾸는 것 같았도다

When Yahweh brought [us Israeli people] back to Jerusalem (OR, enabled us Israelis to prosper again), [it was wonderful]; it seemed as though [SIM] we were dreaming.

2 그 때에 우리 입에는 웃음이 가득하고 우리 혀에는 찬양이 찼었도다 열방 중에서 말하기를 여호와께서 저희를 위하여 대사를 행하셨다 하였도다

We were extremely happy, and we [SYN] continued shouting joyfully. Then the [other] people-groups said about us, “Yahweh has done great things for them!”

3 여호와를 위하여 대사를 행하셨으니 우리는 기쁘도다

[And we say, “Yes], Yahweh [truly] has done great things for us, and we are [very] happy.”

4 여호와여, 우리의 포로를 남방 시내들 같이 돌리소서

Yahweh, when it rains, water flows in the streams again [after they were dry] [SIM]. Similarly, enable our nation to become great again like it was before.

5 눈물을 흘리며 씨를 뿌리는 자는 기쁨으로 거두리로다

We cried when we planted [seeds because it was hard work preparing the soil that had not been plowed for many years]; [now we want to] shout joyfully because we are gathering a [big] harvest.

6 울며 씨를 뿌리러 나가는 자는 정녕 기쁨으로 그 단을 가지고 돌아 오리로다

Those who cried as they carried the [bags of] seeds [to the fields] will shout joyfully when they bring the crops [to their houses at harvest time].
