A Song of Ascents.

1 When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion,

we were like those who dream.

2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,

and our tongue with singing.

Then they said among the nations,

"Yahweh has done great things for them."

3 Yahweh has done great things for us,

and we are glad.

4 Restore our fortunes again, Yahweh,

like the streams in the Negev.

5 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing,

will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.

1 耶和华使被掳的人归回锡安的时候, 我们好像在作梦的人。(本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题)

2 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。"

3 耶和华为我们行了大事, 我们就欢喜。

4 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。

5 那些流泪撒种的, 必欢呼收割。

6 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。
