A Song of Degrees. When the Lord turned the captivity of Sion, we became as comforted ones.

Пѣ́снь степе́ней.

²

Then was our mouth filled with joy, and our tongue with exultation: then would they say among the Gentiles,

¹

Внегда́ возврати́ти Го́споду плѣ́нъ Сіо́нь, бы́хомъ я́ко утѣ́шени.

³

The Lord has done great things among them. The Lord has done great things for us, we became joyful.

²

Тогда́ испо́лнишася ра́дости уста́ на́ша, и язы́къ на́шъ весе́лія: тогда́ реку́тъ во язы́цѣхъ: возвели́чилъ є́сть Госпо́дь сотвори́ти съ ни́ми.

⁴

Turn, O Lord, our captivity, as the streams in the south.

³

Возвели́чилъ є́сть Госпо́дь сотвори́ти съ на́ми: бы́хомъ веселя́щеся.

⁵

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

⁴

Возврати́, Го́споди, плѣне́ніє на́ше, я́ко пото́ки ю́гомъ.

⁶

They went on and wept as they cast their seeds; but they shall surely come with exultation, bringing their sheaves with them.

⁵

Сѣ́ющіи слеза́ми, ра́достію по́жнутъ.
