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 (125:1) Песнь восхождения. Когда возвращал Господь плен Сиона, мы были как бы видящие во сне:

2 (125:2) тогда уста наши были полны веселья, и язык наш – пения; тогда между народами говорили: "великое сотворил Господь над ними!"

3 (125:3) Великое сотворил Господь над нами: мы радовались.

4 (125:4) Возврати, Господи, пленников наших, как потоки на полдень.

5 (125:5) Сеявшие со слезами будут пожинать с радостью.

6 (125:6) С плачем несущий семена возвратится с радостью, неся снопы свои.
