Psalms 126:6 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

He that goeth forth; the husbandman that goeth out into his field, and walketh hither and thither to scatter his seed, as the manner is. Weepeth, for fear of the loss of his seed, and of a bad harvest. Precious seed; seed-corn when it is scarce and dear. Or, the basket of seed as it is rendered in our margin, as also by the Chaldee paraphrast, and some ethers. Shall doubtless come, Heb. coming shall come; which manner of expression may note either the certainty of the thing, or the frequency and customariness of it. This verse is only an amplification of the former.

Psalms 126:6

6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing preciousb seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
