The streams in the South of Israel, the Negev, dry up in the parched summer months but become raging torrents during the rainy season. The psalmist used these streams as a figure of what the highways from Babylon could become with God's further blessing. They could become flooded with travelers moving back into the land God wanted His chosen people to occupy.
