Psalms 4:7. Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
The harvest and the vintage were the two seasons of greatest joy in the East, they shouted "Harvest Home" with gladness that the fruits of the earth had again been ingathered, and they drank the new wine, and danced for joy; but David says to the Lord, " Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. " When God puts gladness in the heart, it is real gladness, for God is not the Giver of a sham joy; and it is lasting gladness, for God does not give temporary gifts. David says, "Thou hast put gladness in my heart," and then he compares it with the gladness of the sons of men, and he says that his joy was greater than theirs when their earthly stores were increased. Boaz went to sleep on the threshing-floor, but he that sleeps upon the bosom of God has a far softer bed than that.
