Salmos 126

1 Cântico dos degraus: Quando o SENHOR restaurou Sião de seu infortúnio, estivemos como os que sonham.

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. When the Lord brought his people back from captivity to Zion, it was as if we were dreaming!

2 Então nossa boca se encheu de riso, e nossa língua de alegria; então diziam entre as nações: O SENHOR fez grandes coisas para estes.

We laughed so much, we sang for joy. The other nations said, “The Lord has done wonderful things for these people.”

3 Grandes coisas o SENHOR fez para nós; [por isso] estamos alegres.

The Lord certainly has done wonderful things for us. How happy we were!

4 Restaura-nos, ó SENHOR, como as correntes de águas no sul.

Please return and help us again, Lord. Renew us like streams of water that renew the Negev desert.

5 Os que semeiam em lágrimas colherão com alegria.

Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy!

6 Aquele que sai chorando com semente para semear voltará com alegria, trazendo sua colheita.

Those who weep as they go out to sow their seed will be singing in celebration when they carry the harvest home.
