psalms 126:4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

psalms 126:4 Restore our captivity, O LORD, As the streams in the South.

4. All did not return at once; hence the prayer for repeated favors.
as the streams in the south--or, the torrents in the desert south of Judea, dependent on rain (Jos 15:9), reappearing after dry seasons (compare Job 6:15; Ps 68:9). The point of comparison is joy at the reappearing of what has been so painfully missed.

psalms 126:4 Restore our captivity, O LORD, As the streams in the South.
