Zion is Jerusalem, especially the hill associated with God’s dwelling and the restored community’s joy. The Negeb is Judah’s arid southern region, where dry streambeds suddenly flow after rain; this image frames the psalm’s hope that God will renew his people and turn sorrowful sowing into joyful harvest.
