Jewish papercut, Shabbat Blessings, Psalms 126 and other verses from psalms in brackets added by some. Shir Hama'alot is sung in Ashkenazi traditions before Birkat Hamazon on Shabbat, Festivals and other joyous occasions. Before Hatikvah was chosen for the purpose, Shir Hama'alot was a serious contender as Israel's national anthem. "When the Lord brought us out of captivity, we were like people in a dream!" Hebrew text: שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלות בְּשׁוּב ה' אֶת שִׁיבַת צִיּון הָיִינוּ כְּחלְמִים: אָז יִמָלֵא שחוק פִּינוּ וּלְשׁונֵנוּ רִנָּה אָז יאמְרוּ בַגּויִם הִגְדִּיל ה' לַעֲשות עִם אֵלֶּה: הִגְדִּיל ה' לַעֲשות עִמָּנוּ הָיִינוּ שמֵחִים: שׁוּבָה ה' אֶת שְׁבִיתֵנוּ כַּאֲפִיקִים בַּנֶּגֶב: הַזּרְעִים בְּדִמְעָה בְּרִנָּה יִקְצרוּ: הָלוךְ יֵלֵךְ וּבָכה נשא מֶשֶׁךְ הַזָּרַע בּא יָבא בְרִנָּה נשא אֲלֻמּתָיו: Phonetic pronunciation: Shir Hama'alot, B'shuv Adonai et shivat tziyon hayinu k'chol'mim. Az Y'male s'chok peenu ulshoneinu rina. Az yom'ru vagoyim higdil Adonai la'asot im eleh; higdil Adonai la'asot imanu hayinu s'meicheim. Shuva Adonai et shiviteinu ka'afikim banegev. Hazor'im b'dimah b'rinah yiktzoru. Haloch Yelech uvacho, noseh meshech hazarah, bo yavo v'rinah noseh alumotav. English Translation: When the Lord returned the captives of Zion, we were like people in a dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with exultation: then said they among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them. The Lord has done great things for us; so we rejoiced! Bring back our captives, O Lord, as the streams in the south. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. Though he goes on his way weeping, bearing the store of seed, he shall come back with joy, bearing his sheaves.
