Psalm 126:1

Israel's Stability

¹ When the Lord brought back the captives to Zion (Jerusalem),
We were like those who dream [it seemed so unreal].
²
Then our mouth was filled with laughter
And our tongue with joyful shouting;
Then they said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
