Psalm 126
New King James Version
Psalm 126
New King James Version
A Joyful Return to Zion
A Song of Ascents.
126 When (A)the Lord brought back [a]the captivity of Zion,
(B)We were like those who dream.
2 Then (C)our mouth was filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the [b]nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
3 The Lord has done great things for us,
And we are glad.
4 Bring back our captivity, O Lord,
As the streams in the South.
5 (D)Those who sow in tears
Shall reap in joy.
6 He who continually goes [c]forth weeping,
Bearing [d]seed for sowing,
Shall doubtless come again [e]with (E)rejoicing,
Bringing his sheaves with him.

Herren befriade oss
126 När Herren förde oss tillbaka till Jerusalem efter fångenskapen, var det som en dröm!
2 Vi skrattade högt och sjöng av glädje! Till och med andra folk, som inte kände Gud, måste säga: Allt vad Herren gjort för dem är stort och väldigt!
3 Ja, det är verkligen sant! Vi var utom oss av glädje.
4 Herre, åt vår dystra tillvaro gav du mening, på samma sätt som du fyller de uttorkade bäckarna med vatten!
5 De som sår med tårar ska få skörda med glädje.
6 Ja, de går gråtande ut med säden de ska så, men när de kommer tillbaka, jublar de över den stora skörd de fått.

King James Version
126 When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
2 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.
3 The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
4 Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south.
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

Restore Our Fortunes, O Lord
A Song of (A)Ascents.

bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,
bringing his sheaves with him.
