Commentary on Psalms 126:5

Theological / Devotional

Sow in tears. Tears of anxiety and uncertainty, the heart wondering, as the seed is cast into the ground, whether there will be a harvest.

Joy. Heb. rinnah, frequently “a shout of joy.” Rinnah appears also in v. 2 and is there translated, “singing.” When the harvesttime comes, tears give place to ringing songs of joy, because the Lord has blessed the fruit of the soil.
