被掳者归回的喜乐

上圣殿朝圣之诗。

126 耶和华带领被掳者归回耶路撒冷的时候,
我们犹如在梦中。
我们笑声不止,欢呼歌唱。
列邦都说:
“耶和华为他们成就了伟大的事。”
耶和华实在为我们成就了伟大的事,
我们充满了喜乐。
耶和华啊,
求你恢复我们的繁荣,
就像干旱的南地重现溪流。
含泪撒种的必欢呼着收割。
含泪出去撒种的必欢呼着带回禾捆。

Psalm 126

Zion’s Restoration

A song of ascents.

When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,[a]
we were like those who dream.(A)
Our mouths were filled with laughter then,(B)
and our tongues with shouts of joy.(C)
Then they said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”(D)
The Lord had done great things for us;
we were joyful.(E)

Restore our fortunes,[b] Lord,
like watercourses in the Negev.(F)
Those who sow in tears
will reap with shouts of joy.(G)
Though one goes along weeping,
carrying the bag of seed,
he will surely come back with shouts of joy,
carrying his sheaves.(H)

  1. 126:1 Or Lord returned those of Zion who had been captives
  2. 126:4 Or Return our captives

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.
