시편 126:1-3 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 126:1-3

While the people of Israel were captives in Babylon their harps were hung upon the willow-trees, for then God called to weeping and mourning, then he mourned unto them and they lamented; but now that their captivity is turned they resume their harps; Providence pipes to them, and they dance. Thus must we accommodate ourselves to all the dispensations of Providence and be suitably affected with them. And the harps are never more melodiously tunable than after such a melancholy disuse. The long... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 126:1

When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion ,.... Or returned the Jews from their captivity in Babylon; who are called Zion, from the city of David, built on Mount Zion, which was in Judea, and adjoined to Jerusalem, the metropolis of the kingdom; and because they were the godly who were concerned for Zion in a spiritual sense, or the church of God, and the interest of religion, whose spirits the Lord stirred up to come out of Babylon, upon the proclamation by Cyrus, when those that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 126:2

Then was our mouth filled with laughter ,.... Who before mourned, and hung their harps on the willows, and could not sing the Lord's song in a strange land; but now, as their hearts were filled, with joy, this was externally and visibly seen in their countenances, and expressed with their mouths and by outward gestures; it was so great, they could not contain it, to which respect is had, Isaiah 35:10 . It may be rendered, "then shall our mouth be filled with laughter" F17 ימלא ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 126:3

The Lord hath done great things for us ,.... These words are generally supposed to be the words of the Jews, taking up those of the Gentiles, and confirming them; acknowledging that the Lord had done great things for them indeed; which, had they not owned, they would have been exceeding ungrateful; had they been silent concerning them, the stones would have cried out, and the very Heathens condemned them. But I see not why they may not be thought to be the words of those among the Heathens... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 126:1

When the Lord turned again the captivity - When Cyrus published his decree in favor of the Jews, giving them liberty to return to their own land, and rebuild their city and temple. We were like them that dream - The news was so unexpected that we doubted for a time the truth of it. We believed it was too good news to be true, and thought ourselves in a dream or illusion. When the Romans had vanquished Philip, king of Macedon, they restored liberty to the Grecian cities by proclamation.... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 126:2

Then upas our mouth filled with laughter - The same effect as was produced on the poor liberated Grecians mentioned above. Then said they among the heathen - The liberty now granted was brought about in so extraordinary a way, that the very heathens saw that the hand of the great Jehovah must have been in it. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 126:3

The Lord hath done great things for us - We acknowledge the hand of our God. Deus nobis haec otia fecit, "God alone has given us this enlargement." We are glad - This is a mere burst of ecstatic joy. O how happy are we! read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 126:1

Verse 1 1.When Jehovah brought back the captivity of Zion, etc. It is unnatural and forced to suppose, with some expositors, that this is a prediction of what was to come. For my part I have no doubt that the Psalm was composed upon the return of the Jewish people from the Babylonish captivity; and for this reason I have translated the verb בשוב , beshub, in the past tense. Now, whoever was the author of it, (88) whether one of the Levites or one of the Prophets, he affirms that the manner of... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 126:2

Verse 2 2.Now shall our mouth be filled with laughter. The adverb of time, אז, az, is commonly translated then; but as the verbs are in the future tense, I have thought that it might not be improper to translate tires — grow shall our mouth be filled, and now shall they say. If, however, we admit what some Hebrew Doctors affirm, that the force of this particle is to change the future tense into the past, the adverb then will be the appropriate word. The design of the Prophet is not at all... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 126:1

When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion ; literally, when the Lord turned again the returning of Zion ; i . e . "brought back those who returned from the Captivity." We were like them that dream . We could scarce credit our senses; we seemed to be in a happy "dream" (comp. Acts 12:9 ). read more
