1 Da HERREN hjemførte Zions fanger, var vi som drømmende;

1 A Song of Ascents.When the Lord brought back the captive ones of Zion,We were like those who dream.

2 da fyldtes vor Mund med Latter, vor Tunge med Frydesang; da hed det blandt Folkene: "HERREN har gjort store Ting imod dem!"

2 Then our mouth was filled with laughterAnd our tongue with joyful shouting;Then they said among the nations,“The Lord has done great things for them.”

3 HERREN har gjort store Ting imod os, og vi blev glade.

3 The Lord has done great things for us;We are glad.

4 Vend, o Herre, vort Fangenskab, som Sydlandets Strømme!

4 Restore our captivity, O Lord,As the streams in the South.

5 De; som sår med Gråd, skal høste med Frydesang;

5 Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting.

6 de går deres Gang med Gråd, når de udstrør Sæden, med Frydesang kommer de hjem, bærende deres Neg. 

6 He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed,Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
