Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
He that goeth forth—literally, better, "He goes—he comes, he comes," etc. The repetition implies there is no end of weeping here, as there shall be no end of joy hereafter (Isaiah 35:10).
precious seed—rather, seed to be drawn from the seed box for sowing; literally, "seed-draught." Compare on this Psalm, Jeremiah 31:9, etc.
As in husbandry the sower may cast his seed in a dry and parched soil with desponding fears, so those shall reap abundant fruit who toil in tears with the prayer of faith. (Compare the history, Ezra 6:16, Ezra 6:22).
