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.

被掳的人回归向 神感恩

朝圣之歌(原文作“往上行之歌”)。

126 耶和华使被掳的人归回锡安的时候,

我们好象在作梦的人。(本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题)

那时,我们满口喜笑,

满舌欢呼;

那时列国中有人说:

“耶和华为他们行了大事。”

耶和华为我们行了大事,

我们就欢喜。

耶和华啊,求你使我们被掳的人归回,

像南地的河水复流一样。

那些流泪撒种的,

必欢呼收割。

那带着种子流着泪出去撒种的,

必带着禾捆欢呼快乐地回来。

A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord.

126 Our enemies took us away from Zion.
    But when the Lord brought us home,
    it seemed like a dream to us.
Our mouths were filled with laughter.
    Our tongues sang with joy.
Then the people of other nations said,
    “The Lord has done great things for them.”
The Lord has done great things for us.
    And we are filled with joy.

Lord, bless us with great success again,
    as rain makes streams flow in the Negev Desert.
Those who cry as they plant their crops
    will sing with joy when they gather them in.
Those who go out weeping
    as they carry seeds to plant
will come back singing with joy.
    They will bring the new crop back with them.
