Psalms 107:37 - Exposition

And sow the fields; literally, and sow fields —the first act of a settled population. And plant vineyards . The second act in a wine-producing country. Bread and wine were recognized in the East as the prime necessaries of life (see Genesis 14:18 ; 9:13 ; 19:19 ; 2 Samuel 6:19 ; Nehemiah 5:15 ; Psalms 104:15 ; Daniel 1:5 , etc.). Which may yield fruits of increase ; rather, and get them ; literally, make them . The expression, "fruits of increase," points to the abundance of the harvest and vintage.
