Psalms 126:2

Then was our mouth filled with laughter We thought ourselves in a new world, and the surprise of it put us into such an ecstasy and transport of joy, that we could scarcely contain ourselves within the bounds of decency in the expressions of it; and our mouth with singing We gave vent to our joy, by singing hymns and songs of praise to God, and thus gave notice to all about us, what wonders God had wrought for us. Then said they among the heathen Who had observed our calamity and triumphed in it, Jeremiah 22:8; Psalms 137:7. The Lord Jehovah, the God of Israel, hath done great things for them This truly is Jehovah's work, who hath magnified his power in the strange deliverance of this nation. Well might they wonder, that a heathen emperor should, of his own mere motion, show so much kindness to a people so hated and despised as the Jews were.
