Psaume 126

La Bible du Semeur

Semailles et moisson

1 Cantique pour la route vers la demeure de l’Eternel. Quand l’Eternel a ramené ╵les captifs de Sion, nous étions comme dans un rêve. (Ps 120:1) 

2 Alors nous ne cessions de rire et de pousser des cris de joie. Alors on disait chez les autres peuples: « Oh, l’Eternel a fait pour eux ╵de grandes choses! » 

3 Oui, l’Eternel a fait pour nous de grandes choses: nous sommes dans la joie. 

4 Viens changer notre sort, ╵ô Eternel, comme quand l’eau coule à nouveau ╵dans les lits des rivières du Néguev. 

5 Qui sème dans les larmes moissonnera avec des cris de joie! 

6 Qui s’en va en pleurant ╵alors qu’il porte sa semence reviendra en poussant des cris de joie, ╵alors qu’il portera ses gerbes.

Psaume 126

English Standard Version

Restore Our Fortunes, O Lord

1 A Song of Ascents. When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. (Ps 14:7; Ps 120:1; Ac 12:9) 

2 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.” (Jb 8:21; Ps 71:19) 

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

4 Restore our fortunes, O Lord, like streams in the Negeb! 

5 Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy! (Esd 6:22; Ne 12:43; Jr 31:9; Ag 2:3; Ga 6:9) 

6 He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
