A Song of Ascents.

1 When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion,

we were like those who dream.

2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,

and our tongue with singing.

Then they said among the nations,

"Yahweh has done great things for them."

3 Yahweh has done great things for us,

and we are glad.

4 Restore our fortunes again, Yahweh,

like the streams in the Negev.

5 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing,

will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.

朝圣之歌*原文作"往上行之歌"。 1 耶和华使被掳的人归回锡安的时候，

我们好象在作梦的人。*本节在《马索拉文本》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。
