Psalms · chapter 126 · verse 3
The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.Psalm 126:3 · King James Version
What Psalm 126:3 means
The psalm opens with the return from captivity and says they were like them that dream. Verse three is the plain version of that. Whereof we are glad is almost understated after what came before, which is often how real relief sounds.

Psalm 126:3 in context
1When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.
3The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
4Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.
5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

While the people of Israel were captives in Babylon their harps were hung upon the willow-trees, for then God called to weeping and mourning, then he mourned unto them and they lamented; but now that their captivity is turned they resume their harps; Providence pipes to them, and they dance.
