12. Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein. Let the cultivated plains praise the Lord. Peace enables their owners
to plow and sow and reap, without fear of the rapine of invaders, and therefore
in glad notes they applaud him whose empire is peace. Both men, and creatures
that graze the plain, and the crops themselves are represented as swelling the
praises of Jehovah. Then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice. He
does not say, let them rejoice, but they shall do so. Perhaps the
psalmist was thinking of the birds.
