Lyrics:
Sheer Hama’a lot
(A Song of Ascents)
Beshuv Ah-donai
(When the Lord brought back)
Et Shivat Tzion Hayinu Kekholmim
(those that returned to Zion, We were like dreamers)
Oz Yimaleh S’khok Pinu
(Our mouth was filled with laughter)
U’lshonaynu Rinah
(And our tongue with singing)
Oz Yomru Vagoyim
(Then the nations declared)
Higdil Ah-donai La’asot Im Eyleh
(‘The Lord has done great things with them)
Higdil Ah-donai La’asot Imanu
(The Lord has done great things with us)
Hayenu Semekheem
(and we rejoiced)
Shuva Ah-donai Et Sheveetaynu
(Turn our captivity, O Lord)
Ka’afikim Banegev
(as the streams in the dry land)
Hazorim Bedeema Be’rinah Yikhsoru
(They that sow in tears shall reap in joy)
Halokh Yelekh u’vakha
(He that goes on his way weeping)
Nosay Meshekh Hazorah
(that bears a measure of seed)
Bo Yavo B’rinah Nosay Alumotav
(He shall come home with joy, bearing his sheaves)
