Psalm 126:1-3

Contemporary English Version

¹ It seemed like a dream
when the Lord brought us back
    to the city of Zion.^[a]
2 We celebrated with laughter
    and joyful songs.
In foreign nations it was said,
“The Lord has worked miracles
    for his people.”
³ And so we celebrated
because the Lord had indeed
    worked miracles for us.
