He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD. He maketh the barren woman to keep house - This is a figure to point out the desolate, decreasing state of the captives in Babylon, and the happy change which took place on their return to their own land. These are nearly the words of Hannah, 1 Samuel 2:5.
