LORD, change our circumstances for the better, like dry streams in the desert waste!
Turn again our captivity, O LORD, As the streams in the south.
Turn to freedom our captivity and restore our fortunes, O Lord, as the streams in the South (the Negeb) [are restored by the torrents].
Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, As the streams in the South.
Like arrows in the hand of the powerful, so are the sons of those who have been cast out.
