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.

1 Grádicsok éneke.

2 Akkor megtelt a szánk nevetéssel, nyelvünk pedig vígadozással. Akkor így szóltak a pogányok: Hatalmasan cselekedett ezekkel az Úr!

3 Hatalmasan cselekedett velünk az Úr, azért örvendezünk.

4 Hozd vissza, Uram, a mi foglyainkat, mint patakokat a déli földön!

5 A kik könyhullatással vetnek, vígadozással aratnak majd.

6 A ki vetõmagját sírva emelve megy tova, vígadozással jõ elõ, kévéit emelve.
