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.

A Song of Ascents.

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.
