1. [Song of Ascents] When Yahweh brought back Zion's captives we lived in a dream;

2. then our mouths filled with laughter, and our lips with song. Then the nations kept saying, 'What great deeds Yahweh has done for them!'

3. Yes, Yahweh did great deeds for us, and we were overjoyed.

4. Bring back, Yahweh, our people from captivity like torrents in the Negeb!

5. Those who sow in tears sing as they reap.

6. He went off, went off weeping, carrying the seed. He comes back, comes back singing, bringing in his sheaves.





“Para que se preocupar com o caminho pelo qual Jesus quer que você chegue à pátria celeste – pelo deserto ou pelo campo – quando tanto por um como por outro se chegará da mesma forma à beatitude eterna?” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
