1When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
1朝聖之歌(原文作“往上行之歌”)。耶和華使被擄的人歸回錫安的時候,我們好像在作夢的人。(本節在《馬索拉抄本》包括細字標題)
2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.
2那時,我們滿口喜笑,滿舌歡呼;那時列國中有人說:“耶和華為他們行了大事。”
3The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
3耶和華為我們行了大事,我們就歡喜。
4Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.
4耶和華啊,求你使我們被擄的人歸回,像南地的河水復流一樣。
5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
5那些流淚撒種的,必歡呼收割。
6He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
6那帶著種子流著淚出去撒種的,必帶著禾捆歡呼快樂地回來。
