Psalm 126

A song of ascents.

When the Lord restored(A) the fortunes of[a] Zion,
    we were like those who dreamed.[b]
Our mouths were filled with laughter,(B)
    our tongues with songs of joy.(C)
Then it was said among the nations,
    “The Lord has done great things(D) for them.”
The Lord has done great things(E) for us,
    and we are filled with joy.(F)

Restore our fortunes,[c](G) Lord,
    like streams in the Negev.(H)
Those who sow with tears(I)
    will reap(J) with songs of joy.(K)
Those who go out weeping,(L)
    carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
    carrying sheaves with them.

Gratitud por el regreso de la cautividad

Cántico de ascenso gradual[a].

126 Cuando el Señor hizo volver a los cautivos de[b] Sión(A),
éramos como los que sueñan(B).
Entonces nuestra boca se llenó de risa(C),
y nuestra lengua de gritos de alegría(D);
entonces dijeron entre las naciones:
Grandes cosas ha hecho el Señor con ellos(E).
Grandes cosas ha hecho el Señor con nosotros;
estamos alegres(F).

Haz volver, Señor, a nuestros cautivos[c],
como las corrientes[d] en el sur[e](G).
Los que siembran con lágrimas(H), segarán con gritos de júbilo(I).
Él que con lágrimas anda[f], llevando la semilla de la siembra[g],
en verdad volverá con gritos de alegría, trayendo sus gavillas.

126 When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.

The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
