Psalms126:1
A comparison and a contrast.
1. The saved like them that dream. a) In the strangeness of their experience. b) In the ecstasy of their joy.
2. The saved unlike them that dream. a) In the reality of their experience. Dreams are unsubstantial things, but "the Lord turned" —an actual fact. b) In their freedom from disappointment. No awakening to find it "but a dream": see Isa 29:8.
3. In the endurance of their joy. The joy of dreams is soon forgotten, but this is "everlasting joy." —W. H. J. P.
