Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 11. - Light is sown for the righteous (comp. Psalm 112:4, "Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness"). God sheds the rays of his grace on the path of the righteous man, enlightens his understanding, and illumines his spirit perpetually. And gladness for the upright in heart. Together with "light," he sheds abroad "gladness," the irrepressible joy which comes from a sense of his favour and protection.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) Light is sown--i.e., scattered. The metaphor must not be pressed so as to think of a harvest to come. The image is an obvious and common one."Sol etiam summo de vertice dissipat omnesArdorem in partes, et lumine consent arva."LUCRETIUS.And Milton, while enriching its metaphor, doubless had the psalm in his mind:--"Now morn, her rosy steps in the Eastern climeAdvancing, sow'd the earth with orient pearl."
