1 'n Bedevaartslied. Toe die HERE die lot van Sion verander het, was ons soos die wat droom.

2 Toe is ons mond gevul met gelag en ons tong met gejubel; toe het hulle onder die heidene gesê: Die HERE het groot dinge aan hierdie mense gedoen.

3 Die HERE het groot dinge aan ons gedoen: ons was bly!

4 o HERE, verander ons lot soos waterstrome in die Suidland.

5 Die wat met trane saai, sal met gejubel maai.

6 Hy loop aldeur en ween en dra die saadkoring; hy sal sekerlik kom met gejubel en sy gerwe dra.

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.
