**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](../../../kjv/job/42/10) and [Ezekiel 16:53](../../../kjv/ezekiel/16/53) and [Ezekiel 16:56](../../../kjv/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](../../../kjv/2-kings/19/35) .[Isaiah 37:36](../../../kjv/isaiah/37/36) . The illustration is in [Luke 24:41](../../../kjv/luke/24/41) .[Acts 12:9](../../../kjv/acts/12/9) (603 B.C.)

**singing:** i.e. the songs of [Isaiah 38:20](../../../kjv/isaiah/38/20) .
**said they** = was it said.
**heathen** = nations. The reference is to [2 Chronicles 32:22](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/32/22) , [2 Chronicles 32:23](../../../kjv/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.

**streams** = torrents. Hebrew. *'aphikim.* See [2 Samuel 22:16](../../../kjv/2-samuel/22/16) . Supply the *Ellipsis,* "as the streams [are turned] in the Negeb".
**in the south** = in the Negeb, where, in the hill-country of Judaea the *'aphikim* are turned about in their beds between the rocks and in the gorges.
**south.** Hebrew Negeb; the hill-country of Judaea. See note on [Genesis 13:1](../../../kjv/genesis/13/1) , and [Deuteronomy 1:7](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/1/7) .

**sow in tears.** The reference is to the "sign" given in [Isaiah 37:30](../../../kjv/isaiah/37/30) . See App-67 .
