Zion's Restoration
A song of ascents.
1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,[a] we were like those who dream.
2
Our mouths were filled with laughter then, and our tongues with shouts of joy. Then they said among the nations, "The Lord has done great things for them."
3
The Lord had done great things for us; we were joyful.

Psalm 126:1-3 Meaning and Commentary
INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 126
\\<>\\. This psalm is generally thought to have been written by Ezra, or some good man returned from the Babylonish captivity, and on account of it: the inscription in the Syriac version of it, besides observing it to be a song of degrees or ascents, and without a name, is, ``it is said of Haggai and Zechariah, who came up out of Babylon with the captives; but spiritually; and it is an expectation of good things to come.'' It may have respect to redemption by the Messiah; and the conversion of the Jews in the latter day.
