1 Quando o SENHOR trouxe do cativeiro os que voltaram a Sião, estávamos como os que sonham.

2 Então a nossa boca se encheu de riso e a nossa língua de cântico; então se dizia entre os gentios: Grandes coisas fez o Senhor a estes.

3 Grandes coisas fez o Senhor por nós, pelas quais estamos alegres.

4 Traze-nos outra vez, ó Senhor, do cativeiro, como as correntes das águas no sul.

5 Os que semeiam em lágrimas segarão com alegria.

6 Aquele que leva a preciosa semente, andando e chorando, voltará, sem dúvida, com alegria, trazendo consigo os seus molhos.

1 A Song of the going up. When the Lord made a change in Zion's fate, we were like men in a dream.

2 Then our mouths were full of laughing, and our tongues gave a glad cry; they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them.

3 The Lord has done great things for us; because of which we are glad.

4 Let our fate be changed, O Lord, like the streams in the South.

5 Those who put in seed with weeping will get in the grain with cries of joy.

6 Though a man may go out weeping, taking his vessel of seed with him; he will come again in joy, with the corded stems of grain in his arms.
