1 Quando Jeová reconduziu os cativos de Sião, Éramos como aqueles que estão sonhando.2 Então a nossa boca se encheu de riso, E a nossa língua de júbilo. Dizia-se então entre as nações: Grandes coisas tem feito Jeová por eles.3 Grandes coisas tem feito Jeová por nós; Somos cheios de júbilo.4 Faze, Jeová, voltar os nossos cativos Como as torrentes no Neguebe.5 Aqueles que semeiam em lágrimas, Com júbilo ceifarão.6 Embora alguém saia chorando, levando a semente para semear, Tornará a vir com júbilo, trazendo os seus feixes.

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.
