Cantique des degrés.
Quand l’Éternel ramena les captifs de Sion,
Nous étions comme ceux qui font un rêve.
Alors notre bouche était remplie de cris de joie,
Et notre langue de chants d’allégresse;
Alors on disait parmi les nations:
L’Éternel a fait pour eux de grandes choses!
L’Éternel a fait pour nous de grandes choses;
Nous sommes dans la joie.
Éternel, ramène nos captifs,
Comme des ruisseaux dans le midi!
Ceux qui sèment avec larmes
Moissonneront avec chants d’allégresse.
Celui qui marche en pleurant, quand il porte la semence,
Revient avec allégresse, quand il porte ses gerbes.
