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 degrees.” When the Lord bringeth back again the captivity of Zion, then shall we be like dreamers.

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 shall our mouth be filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then shall they say among the nations, Great things hath the Lord done for these.

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

Great things would the Lord have done for us, [whereat] we should be joyful.

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

Bring back again, O Lord, our captivity, like rivulets in arid land.

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

Those that sow in tears shall reap with joyful song.

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.

He goeth forth indeed and weepeth, that beareth the seed for sowing; but he will surely come with joyful song when he beareth [home] his sheaves.
