Psalms 126

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

A Canticle in steps. When the Lord turned back the captivity of Zion, we became like those who are consoled.

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 mouth was filled with gladness and our tongue with exultation. Then they will say 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. We have become joyful.

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

Convert our captivity, O Lord, like a torrent in the south.

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

Those who sow in tears shall reap in exultation.

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.

When departing, they went forth and wept, sowing their seeds. But when returning, they will arrive with exultation, carrying their sheaves.
