Psalm Ps. 126. This is a community lament that recalls a previous time of God’s mercy on his people (v. 1) and asks him to show that mercy again (v. 4).
Ps. 126:1–3 During some past event, God restored the fortunes of Zion. This great mercy, which they could hardly believe (like those who dream), filled the people with gladness (v. 2). It also impressed the nations with God’s care for his people, and the people themselves took up the Gentiles’ cry: The Lord has done great things for us.
Ps. 126:1 restored the fortunes. Compare vv. 5–6; Job 42:10; see also Ps. 14:7; Lam. 2:14.
Ps. 126:4–6 Restore our fortunes, O Lord asks God to show mercy now as he has in the past. The images that follow (streams in the Negeb; seed for sowing) seem to illustrate the kind of renewal asked for, namely, a good year for crops.
