126:2-3 God’s intervention on Israel’s behalf testifies to his omnipotence and superiority (96:3; 113:4; Is 61:9; 66:19; Jr 31:10; Ezk 36:23).
126:4-6 In v. 1 the Lord restores Zion as the political and religious center, but vv. 4-6 focus on the productivity of the land. The watercourses in the Negev refer to seasonal streams or wadis, which occasionally blessed the land with a sudden overabundance of water. Along with providing sudden bounty like a wadi, God also made use of methodical processes and hard labor like agriculture. The person who remains humble before God will surely enjoy God’s blessings in the land.
