The psalmist mourns the loss of his homeland and the suffering of his people under Babylonian rule, recalling how God sent them there as punishment for their rebellion. He declares that God will bring them back to their land and that He will judge the nations that oppressed them. The theme is God's faithfulness and the hope of restoration.
