SEV Biblia, Chapter 97:11
Luz está sembrada para el justo, y alegría para los rectos de corazón.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 96:11
Verse 11. Light is sown for the righteous ] The Divine light in the soul of man is a seed which takes root, and springs up and increases thirty, sixty, and a hundred fold. Gladness is also a seed: it is sown, and, if carefully improved and cultivated, will also multiply itself into thousands. Every grace of God is a seed which he intends should produce a thousand fold in the hearts of genuine believers. We do not so much require more grace from God, as the cultivation of what we have received. God will not give more, unless we improve what we have got. Remember the parable of the talents. Let the light and gladness be faithfully cultivated, and they will multiply themselves till the whole body shall be full of light, and the whole soul full of happiness. But it is the righteous only for whom the light is sown; and the upright in heart alone for whom the gladness is sown.
The words may also signify that, however distressed or persecuted the righteous and the upright may be, it shall not be always so. As surely as the grain that is sown in the earth shall vegetate, and bring forth its proper fruit in its season, so surely shall light-prosperity, and gladness- comfort and peace, be communicated to them. They also will spring up in due time.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-12 - The faithful servants of God may well rejoice and be glad, because he is glorified; and whatever tends to his honour, is his people' pleasure. Care is taken for their safety. But something more is mean than their lives. The Lord will preserve the souls of his saints from sin, from apostacy, and despair, under their greatest trials. He wil deliver them out of the hands of the wicked one, and preserve them saf to his heavenly kingdom. And those that rejoice in Christ Jesus, and in his exaltation, have fountains of joy prepared for them. Those that so in tears, shall reap in joy. Gladness is sure to the upright in heart the joy of the hypocrite is but for a moment. Sinners tremble, but saints rejoice at God's holiness. As he hates sin, yet freely loves the person of the repentant sinner who believes in Christ, he will make final separation between the person he loves and the sin he hates, an sanctify his people wholly, body, soul, and spirit __________________________________________________________________
