Commentaries and Concordances

GSB:

126:2 Then was our mouth {b} filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the {c} heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.
(b) He shows how the godly should rejoice when God gathers his Church or delivers it.
(c) If the infidels confess God's wonderful work, the faithful can never show themselves sufficiently thankful.

MHC:

126:1-3 It is good to observe how God's deliverances of the church are for us, that we may rejoice in them. And how ought redemption from the wrath to come, from the power of sin and of Satan, to be valued! The sinner convinced of his guilt and danger, when by looking to a crucified Saviour he receives peace to his conscience, and power to break off his sins, often can scarcely believe that the prospect which opens to him is a reality.
