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.
LORD, change our circumstances for the better, like dry streams in the desert waste!
Like arrows in the hand of the powerful, so are the sons of those who have been cast out.
As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children of them that have been shaken.
