- 1A Song of degrees. When 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.
- 6He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

Skyfall 2024: Purified Seven Times by Sal Corona
In “Skyfall 2024 - Purified Seven Times by Sal Corona,” Sal Corona presents a Scripture-centered message about the authority of Scripture, faith, Bible prophecy. Drawing especially from Psalm 126, Psalm 138:2, Mark 16, Matthew 18:11, the teaching emphasizes that Scripture is presented as the standard for doctrine, discernment, and daily obedience. Corona connects that foundation with the conviction that biblical faith trusts God’s character and acts upon His promises.
