Verse 1
1A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
Turned - Brought the captive Israelites out of Babylon into their own land. Dream - We were so surprized and astonished.
Verse 4
4Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.
Turn - As thou hast brought us home, bring also the rest of our brethren. As - As thou art pleased sometimes to send floods of water into dry and barren grounds, such as the southern parts of Canaan were.
