1 [A Song of degrees.] When Jehovah turned the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with rejoicing: then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.
3 Jehovah hath done great things for us; {and} we are joyful.
4 Turn our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the south.
5 They that sow in tears shall reap with rejoicing:
6 He goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for scattering; he cometh again with rejoicing, bearing 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。
