Psa 126:1-3

Back to Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible

Back to Psalms.

Those returned out of captivity are to be thankful. (1-3) Those yet in captivity are encouraged. (4-6)

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.
