PSALM 126 Joy in the Harvest

God's people are a witness to the heathen.
Psalm 126:2b
said they among the heathen
"The LORD hath done great things for them"
The heathen give praise to God because they have
heard and seen the saving and liberating power
of our Lord, and because the mighty acts of God
have demonstrated the Lord's power, both in
nature and in history.
Psalm 98:3   All the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation of our God. " Make a joyful noise
unto the LORD all the earth"
Which is an invitation to all, to join us in praise.
5  They that sow in tears shall reap in joy
6  Going they went and wept casting their seeds
    But coming they shall come
    with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves.
(From the Latin English interlinear text of David Mawson)
And those who  pray in tears may well ask that their tears
shall be "like streams in the Negeb"
irrigating the desert when it is time to sow,
for verse 5 says you will reap with shouts of joy,
and verse 6 says you will bring in the sheaves
with shouts of joy,...and  there will be joy among
the angels of God.
