We were as dazed as those who dream.
Then were our mouths brimming with laughter;
Joy from our lips gushed like a stream.
The godless cried in envious wonder,
“Look what the Lord has done for them!”
Indeed our God has greatly blessed us;
Rejoice and sing, Jerusalem!
2 Once more, O Lord, restore your people;
Come with your saving help again,
As to the brook-beds in the desert
You bring the sweet, reviving rain.
Let those who sow with tears and sighing
Sing as they reap and joy proclaim;
May those who weep when seed is scattered
Gather their sheaves and praise your name.

1 Cuando el Señor desde el destierro,
como un sueño nos trajo a Sión,
de nuestros labios brotaron cantos,
y en nuestra boca risa abundó.
Y las naciones exclamaron:
"Ved comó Dios les hizo bien".
Y así es: él nos bendijo.
¡Canta con gozo, Jerusalén!
2 Ven, otra vez, Señor, restaura;
envía hoy tu salvación.
Cual manantial en tierra seca,
tu lluvia, Dios, derrama hoy.
Que los que siegan con llanto amargo
con gozo digan al cantar:
"Los que con lágrimas sembraron
con regocijo han de segar".
