1 A song of high degrees. When God shall cause them of Sion that were led into captiuitie for to returne: we shalbe as men that dreamed. When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed.
2 Then shall our mouth be filled with a laughter: and our tongue with a ioyfull noyse. (126:3) Then shall suche as be amongst the Heathen say: God hath brought great thinges to passe, that he myght do for them. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.” Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”
3 (126:4) God hath brought great thinges to passe for vs: we be made merie. The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad. The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.
4 (126:5) Make vs O God that be led into captiuitie: for to returne as riuers into the south. Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like streams in the Negeb! Restore our fortunes, LORD, like streams in the Negev.
5 (126:6) They that sowe in teares: shall reape in ioy. Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy! Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.
6 (126:7) He that goeth foorth on his way, and wepyng beareth pretious seede: shall doubtlesse returning, come againe with a ioyfull noyse, bryngyng his sheaues with hym. He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him. Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.
