126
被掳归回者的欢乐
上行之诗。
1 当耶和华将那些被掳的带回锡安的时候，
我们好像做梦的人。
2 我们满口喜笑、
满舌欢呼的时候，
外邦中就有人说：
耶和华为他们行了大事！
3 耶和华果然为我们行了大事，
我们就欢喜。
4 耶和华啊，求你使我们被掳的人归回，
好像南地的河水复流。
5 流泪撒种的，
必欢呼收割！
6 那带种流泪出去的，
必要欢欢乐乐地带禾捆回来！
We hear much in our day of the rest of faith, but there is such a thing as the fight of faith in prayer as well as in effort. Those who would have us think that they have attained to some sublime height of faith and trust because they never know any agony of conflict or of prayer, have surely gotten beyond their Lord, and beyond the mightiest victors for God, both in effort and prayer, that the ages of Christian history have known. When we learn to come to God with an intensity of desire that wrings the soul, then shall we know a power in prayer that most of us do not know now.
