Psalm 126: The Lord Has Done Great Things


Chorus:

The Lord has done great things for us

We are filled, we are filled with joy.


Verse 1:

When the Lord of mercy freed us from captivity

Filled with joy, we felt like in a dream.

When the nations said, "Their Lord has done great things for them,"

We are glad: Our God has done great things.


Verse 2:

Like the torrents in the southern desert, hear our prayer

Lord, restore our fortunes, you we trust!

Those who sow in tears will one day reap with laugh of joy

Oh, the happy day God brings us back.


Bridge:

Ai xưa đi gieo vai mang gánh nặng, mắt tuôn lệ rơi

Mùa gặt mai sau, lòng mừng vui mang về lúa chín thơm vàng.

Khi dân lưu đày Si-on trở về thành đô yêu dấu

Tưởng mình trong mơ, miệng cười vui vang câu hát khen.


Last chorus:

Ngài đã ra tay, Chúa vĩ đại thay

Lòng hân hoan, miệng vui ca hát luôn.


The Lord has done great things for us

We are filled, we are filled with joy.
