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。

1 When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion,

We were like unto them that dream.

2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter,

And our tongue with singing:

Then said they among the nations,

Jehovah hath done great things for them.

3 Jehovah hath done great things for us,

Whereof we are glad.

4 Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah,

As the streams in the South.

5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for sowing,

Shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
