Deuteronomy 30:3

The 14th bracha of Shemoneh Esrei is Binyan Yerushalayim, the rebuilding of Jerusalem. In this verse, G-d says that He will return the people from exile. The Talmud in Megillah (29a) explains that when God exiles the Jews, He also exiles the Shechinah (His Presence) to some degree. When the Jews return, He metaphorically comes back with them.
