1 Matkalaulu. Kun Herra käänsi Siionin kohtalon, se oli meille kuin unta.3 Totta! Suuret ovat meidän Herramme teot, niistä me saamme iloita.4 Herra, käännä jälleen meidän kohtalomme niin kuin aina tuot vedet Negevin kuiviin uomiin.5 Jotka kyynelin kylvävät, ne riemuiten korjaavat.6 Jotka itkien menevät kylvämään vakkaansa kantaen, ne riemuiten palaavat kotiin lyhteet sylissään.

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.
