3The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
4Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south.
5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
Verse explanation
Sowing was hard and risky work, with no guarantee of a harvest. Comparing it to tears, and the harvest to joy, is saying that today’s effort and pain can turn into abundance further ahead.
