Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 126:1

When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion - Margin, as in Hebrew, “returned the returning of Zion.” The Hebrew word which is rendered in the text captivity means properly return; and then, those returning. The ancient versions render it captivity. The reference clearly is to those who were returning to Zion, and the psalmist fixes his eye on them as returning, and immediately says that it was the Lord who had thus restored them. The whole was to be traced to God.We were like them that... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 126:2

Then was our mouth filled with laughter - Then were we happy; completely happy. See Job 8:21.And our tongue with singing - We expressed our joy in songs - the natural expression of joy. Young converts - those “turned” from sin to God - sing. Their feelings find expression in the songs of Zion. This is natural; this is proper; this will occur when sinners are converted. An assemblage of young converts is always a happy assemblage; a place where there is a “revival” of religion is always a happy... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 126:3

The Lord hath done great things for us - All that the people around us say is true. We see it; we feel it; we acknowledge it. Those to whom this pertained would see it more clearly than those who had merely observed it. A surrounding world may see in the conversion of a man, in his being turned from sin, in the influence of religion upon him, in his comfort, calmness, and peace, that “the Lord has done great things” for him; but he himself, while he responds most fully to what they say, will... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 126:1

Psalms 126:1. When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion Brought the captive Israelites out of Babylon into their own land; we were like them that dream We were so surprised and astonished at the report of such a favour, and especially when the proclamation went forth, to give us liberty to return to our own country, after so long a captivity, we could scarcely believe our own eyes or ears, but were ready to think it to be but a dream, or illusion of our own fancies. “A restoration... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 126:2

Psalms 126:2. Then was our mouth filled with laughter We thought ourselves in a new world, and the surprise of it put us into such an ecstasy and transport of joy, that we could scarcely contain ourselves within the bounds of decency in the expressions of it; and our mouth with singing We gave vent to our joy, by singing hymns and songs of praise to God, and thus gave notice to all about us, what wonders God had wrought for us. Then said they among the heathen Who had observed our... read more

Psalms 126:3. The Lord hath done great things for us And we should be very ungrateful if we did not thankfully acknowledge it, and praise him for the singular benefits, which excite even the wonder of strangers; for the Lord hath not only restored our liberty, but manifested the greatness of his power in affecting this our deliverance; whereof we are glad Which justly fills us with joy and triumph. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 126:1-6

Psalms 125-128 Lessons from JerusalemAs the worshippers journey towards Jerusalem, they recall some of the varied experiences that the city has passed through. They see these as typical of the experiences of God’s people as a whole. Believers are like Jerusalem in that they are completely secure and fully protected (125:1-2). Although Jerusalem sometimes came under the rule of its enemies, God never allowed these enemies to control it for long, in case God’s people lost their devotion to him... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Psalms 126:1

the LORD. Hebrew. Jehovah. App-4 . turned. the captivity = turned the fortunes. This does not refer to a captivity or captives, but to a restoration to blessing. See Job 42:10 and Ezekiel 16:53 and Ezekiel 16:56 , where it is three times explained as "return to your former estate". See App-67 . Zion. See App-68 . like them that dream. The reference is to the waking in 2 Kings 19:35 .Isaiah 37:36 . The illustration is in Luke 24:41 .Acts 12:9 (603 B.C.) read more

singing: i.e. the songs of Isaiah 38:20 . said they = was it said. heathen = nations. The reference is to 2 Chronicles 32:22 , 2 Chronicles 32:23 . The LORD hath done great things. Figure of speech Anadiplosis ( App-6 ), because the phrase is repeated at the beginning of the next verse. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 126:1

PSALM 126WHEN THE LORD RESTORED THE FORTUNES OF ZION (RSV)For the title here we have selected the opening line of the RSV. There is nothing in the psalm that can be applied exclusively to the return of Israel from the captivity; but, at the same time, there is nothing to exclude that example of God's restoring the fortunes of Israel.Delitzsch declared that, "Any other rendering than that of the LXX in these opening lines is impossible."[1] That rendition is, "When the Lord turned the captivity... read more
