Psalms 126:6

“He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, etc.] Which he sows in tears. This is but a repetition and confirmation of what is before expressed in different words; and may be applied, as to a praying saint, so to a faithful preacher of the word. The word is the precious seed which he bears, which he takes out of the granaries of the Scriptures; and carries from place to place, and scatters and sows, (<420811>Luke 8:11); compared to seed, because of its meanness in the eyes of those that know it not; because of its generative virtue and increase, which it has from God, and which, unless sown in the earth, produces no fruit: and it is called “precious seed”, because either bought…”

“He that goeth forth and weepeth - He that goes forth weeping - still an allusion to the farmer. He is seen moving slowly and sadly over the plowed ground, burdened with his task, an in tears. Bearing precious seed - Margin, “seed-basket.” Literally, “bearing the drawing out of seed;” perhaps the seed as drawn out of his bag; or, as scattered or sown regularly in furrows, so that it seems to be drawn out in regular lines over the fields. Shall doubtless come again - Shall come to this sown field again in the time of harvest. He will visit it with other feelings than those which he now has. With rejoicing ... - Then his tears will be turned to joy. Then the rich harvest will wave before him.…”
