¹{A Song of degrees.} When Jehovah turned the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

¹Nyanyian ziarah. Ketika TUHAN memulihkan keadaan Yerusalem, kita seperti bermimpi!

²Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with rejoicing: then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.

²Kita terus tertawa dan menyanyi gembira sehingga bangsa-bangsa lain berkata, "TUHAN telah melakukan hal-hal yang hebat bagi mereka!"

³Jehovah hath done great things for us; [and] we are joyful.

³Memang TUHAN telah melakukan hal-hal yang hebat bagi kita! Sebab itulah kita bersukacita!

⁴Turn our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the south.

⁴Ya TUHAN, pulihkanlah keadaan kami, seperti sungai kering berair lagi di musim hujan.

⁵They that sow in tears shall reap with rejoicing:

⁵Semoga orang yang menabur sambil menangis, menuai dengan sorak-sorai.

⁶He goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for scattering; he cometh again with rejoicing, bearing his sheaves.

⁶Orang pergi menabur benih di ladangnya, sambil bercucuran air mata. Ia pulang dengan menyanyi gembira membawa berkas-berkas panenannya.
