This verse containeth only a further variety of expressions, all signifying the same thing, viz. their happy state for some time after the captivity. We may understand the dancings here of all sorts of people, either of their religious rejoicing in their holy festivals, (for under the Old Testament in their religious rejoicing they used these external expressions of joy, as appears from Psalms 150:4, and from David's dancing before the ark,) or of their civil joy, where dancing was more usual: the last words of the verse expound all the former.
