Lord, Bring Your People Back

A song ·for going up to worship [of ascents; C perhaps sung while traveling to Jerusalem to celebrate an annual religious festival like Passover].

126 When the Lord ·brought the prisoners back to [brought back those who returned to; or restored the fortunes of] Jerusalem [L Zion; C probably the return from the exile; 2 Chr. 36:22–23; Ezra 1],
    it seemed as if we were dreaming [C so surprised and happy that it did not seem real].
Then ·we [L our mouths] were filled with laughter,
    and ·we [L our tongues] ·sang happy songs [shouted joyfully].
Then the other nations said,
    “The Lord has done great things for them.”
