Psalms 126:4

Psalms 126:4

2 Then ^aour mouth was filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the¹ nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”

3 The Lord has done great things for us,
And we are glad.

4 Bring back our captivity, O Lord,
As the streams in the South.

5 ^aThose who sow in tears
Shall reap in joy.

6 He who continually goes¹ forth weeping,
Bearing¹ seed for sowing,
Shall doubtless come again¹ with ^arejoicing,
Bringing his sheaves with him.

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 (Joshua 15:9), reappearing after dry seasons (compare Job 6:15; Psalms 68:9). The point of comparison is joy at the reappearing of what has been so painfully missed.
