Hebrew · transliteration · JPS 1917
1שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲל֥וֹת בְּשׁ֣וּב יְ֭הוָה אֶת־שִׁיבַ֣ת צִיּ֑וֹן הָ֝יִ֗ינוּ כְּחֹלְמִֽים׃
shir hamma'alot beshuv ADONAI et-shivat tziyyon hayinu kecholmim
A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back those that returned to Zion, We were like unto them that dream.
2אָ֤ז יִמָּלֵ֪א שְׂח֡וֹק פִּינוּ֮ וּלְשׁוֹנֵ֪נוּ רִ֫נָּ֥ה אָ֭ז יֹאמְר֣וּ בַגּוֹיִ֑ם הִגְדִּ֥יל יְ֝הוָ֗ה לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת עִם־אֵֽלֶּה׃
az yimmale sechok pinu uleshonenu rinna az yomru vaggoyim higdil ADONAI la'asot im-elle
Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing; then said they among the nations: 'The LORD hath done great things with these.'
3הִגְדִּ֣יל יְ֭הוָה לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת עִמָּ֗נוּ הָיִ֥ינוּ שְׂמֵחִֽים׃
higdil ADONAI la'asot immanu hayinu semechim
The LORD hath done great things with us; we are rejoiced.
4שׁוּבָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה אֶת־שבותנו [שְׁבִיתֵ֑נוּ] כַּאֲפִיקִ֥ים בַּנֶּֽגֶב׃
shuva ADONAI et-shevitenu ka'afikim bannegev
Turn our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the dry land.
5הַזֹּרְעִ֥ים בְּדִמְעָ֗ה בְּרִנָּ֥ה יִקְצֹֽרוּ׃
hazzor'im bedim'a berinna yiktzoru
They that sow in tears Shall reap in joy.
6הָ֘ל֤וֹךְ יֵלֵ֨ךְ ׀ וּבָכֹה֮ נֹשֵׂ֪א מֶֽשֶׁךְ־הַ֫זָּ֥רַע בֹּֽ֬א־יָב֥וֹא בְרִנָּ֑ה נֹ֝שֵׂ֗א אֲלֻמֹּתָֽיו׃
halokh yelekh uvakho nose meshekh-hazzara' bo-yavo verinna nose alummotav
Though he goeth on his way weeping that beareth the measure of seed, He shall come home with joy, bearing his sheaves.
