Psalms 97:11

Light is sown for the righteous -That is, There is light for the righteous; or, they shall be brought into light, though they may be for a time in darkness. The word rendered “sown” -זרעzâra‛- is from a verb which properly denotes to scatter, to disperse - as seed is scattered or dispersed when sown in a field. It is hence used with reference to moral subjects, as to sow righteousness,Proverbs 11:18; to sow iniquity,Proverbs 22:8; to sow mischief,Job 4:8; that is, these things are scattered or sown, as seed is in a field, and produce a corresponding harvest. Thus light is scattered abroad, and will produce an appropriate harvest - a harvest of joy.
