Psalms 126

Psalms 126:1

TƲrned again the captivity of Zion] Heb. returned the returning of Zion.

like them that dream] Their deliverance was as a thing incredible, and therefore seemed rather a dream, then a thing in truth performed, Acts 12:9.

Psalms 126:2

Then was our mouth filled with laughter] He sheweth, how the godly ought to rejoyce, when God gathereth his church, or delivereth it.

then said they among the heathen] The very heathen could not but take notice of Gods handy work in our kingdom: and if the infidels confesse Gods wonderfull work, the faithfull can never shew themselves sufficiently thankfull.

hath done great things for them] Heb. hath magnified to do with them.

Psalms 126:4

as the streams in the south] It is as possible for thee to bring back the rest of the captives from Babylon, as to cause streams to break out in dry places, where the sun scorches in the south, Judg. 1. 15. or, it shall be as comfortable to us, as rivers of water in dry places.

shall reap] Or, let them reap.

joy] Or, singing.

bearing precious seed] That is, seed which was scarce and dear: meaning, that they which trusted in Gods promise to return, had their desire.

shall doubtlesse come] Or, let him come.

doubtlesse come] Heb. coming come.
