<p id="Ps126_1"><a onclick="return mV('Psa',126,'1-6');">Psa 126:1-6</a>.
|
|
<p>To praise for God's favor to His people is added a prayer for its continued manifestation.
|
|
<p><b>1-3. When the Lord,</b> etc.—The joy of those returned from Babylon was ecstatic, and elicited the admiration even of the heathen, as illustrating God's great power and goodness.
|

<br><br><b>turned again the captivity</b>—that is, restored from it (<a onclick="return mV('Job',39,12);">Job 39:12</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',14,7);">Psa 14:7</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Pro',12,14);">Pro 12:14</a>). HENGSTENBERG translates: "When the Lord turned Himself to the turning of Zion" (see <i>Margin</i>), God returns to His people when they return to Him (<a onclick="return mV('Deu',30,2,3);">Deu 30:2-3</a>).
|
|
<p id="Ps126_4"><b>4.</b> All did not return at once; hence the prayer for repeated favors.
|
|
<br><br><b>as the streams in the south</b>—or, the torrents in the desert south of Judea, dependent on rain (<a onclick="return mV('Jos',15,9);">Jos 15:9</a>), reappearing after dry seasons (compare <a onclick="return mV('Job',6,15);">Job 6:15</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',68,9);">Psa 68:9</a>). The point of comparison is joy at the reappearing of what has been so painfully missed.
|
|
<p id="Ps126_5"><b>5, 6.</b> As in husbandry the sower may cast his seed in a dry and parched soil with desponding fears, so those shall reap abundant fruit who toil in tears with the prayer of faith. (Compare the history, <a onclick="return mV('Ezr',6,16,22);">Ezr 6:16, 22</a>).
|
|
<p id="Ps126_6"><b>6. He that goeth forth</b>—literally, better, "He goes—he comes, he comes," etc. The repetition implies there is no end of weeping here, as there shall be no end of joy hereafter (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',35,10);">Isa 35:10</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>precious seed</b>—rather, seed to be drawn from the seed box for sowing; literally, "seed-draught." Compare on this Psalm, <a onclick="return mV('Jer',31,9);">Jer 31:9</a>, etc.
