Verse 1 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 Turn 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.
