Psalms 126

1 Orin fún ìgòkè. Nígbà tí Olúwa mú ìkólọ Sioni padà, àwa dàbí ẹni tí ó ń lá àlá.

A Song of the going up. When the Lord made a change in Zion's fate, we were like men in a dream.

2 Nígbà náà ni ẹnu wa kún fún ẹ̀rín, àti ahọ́n wa kọ orin; nígbà náà ni wọ́n wí nínú àwọn kèfèrí pé, Olúwa ṣe ohun ńlá fún wọn.

Then our mouths were full of laughing, and our tongues gave a glad cry; they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them.

3 Olúwa ṣe ohun ńlá fún wa; nítorí náà àwa ń yọ̀.

The Lord has done great things for us; because of which we are glad.

4 Olúwa mú ìkólọ wa padà, bí ìṣàn omi ní gúúsù.

Let our fate be changed, O Lord, like the streams in the South.

5 Àwọn tí ń fi omijé fún irúgbìn yóò fi ayọ̀ ka.

Those who put in seed with weeping will get in the grain with cries of joy.

6 Ẹni tí ń fi ẹkún rìn lọ, tí ó sì gbé irúgbìn lọ́wọ́, lóòtítọ́, yóò fi ayọ̀ padà wá, yóò sì ru ìtí rẹ̀.

Though a man may go out weeping, taking his vessel of seed with him; he will come again in joy, with the corded stems of grain in his arms.
