John Trapp on Psalms 97:11

Verſ. 11. Light is ſown for the Righteous] The Righteous is haeres cruc [illegible: 2 letters] the Heir of the Croſſe; and many are his troubles. A Child of light may walk in darkneſſe and have no light, Iſa 50.10. yet Chriſt will not leave him comfortleſſe, Joh. 14. Light is ſown for him; 'tis yet ſeeding-time, and that is uſually wet and dropping; and the ſeed muſt have a time to lye, and then to grow, ere a crop can be expected; there muſt be alſo weeding and clodding. &c. behold the Husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it. By ye alſo patient, ſtabliſh your hearts, &c. Jam. 5.7, 8. We look not to ſow and reap in a day, as He ſaith of the Hyperborean people far North, that they ſow ſhortly after the Sun-riſing with them, and reap before the Sun-ſer, ſo: becauſe the whole half year is one continuall day with them.Heresbach d[illegible: 1 letter] reruſt. Deliverance will come in Gods good time; and as before the morning-light is the thickeſt darkneſſe; as the ſeed that lyeth longeſt under ground, commeth up at length with greateſt increaſe, ſo here. Semen modicum, ſed me ſſis faecunda, ſaith Aben-Ezra on the Text.

And gladneſſe for the upright] This clauſe expoundeth the former.
