Psalm 126

A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back those that returned to Zion, we were like unto them that dream.

A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back those that returned to Zion, we were like unto them that dream.

שיר, המעלות:בשוב יהוה, את-שיבת ציון-- היינו, כחלמים.
2

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing; then said they among the nations: The LORD hath done great things with these.

אז ימלא שחוק, פינו-- ולשוננו רנה:אז, יאמרו בגוים-- הגדיל יהוה, לעשות עם-אלה.
3

The LORD hath done great things with us; we are rejoiced.

הגדיל יהוה, לעשות עמנו-- היינו שמחים.
4

Turn our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the dry land.

שובה יהוה, את-שבותנו שביתנו-- כאפיקים בנגב.
5

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

הזרעים בדמעה-- ברנה יקצרו.
6

Though he goeth on his way weeping that beareth the measure of seed, he shall come home with joy, bearing his sheaves.

הלוך ילך, ובכה-- נשא משך-הזרע:בא-יבא ברנה-- נשא, אלמתיו.
