“Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.”
Psalms 4:7 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 4:7
Here David contrasts worldly joy with divine joy. The gladness God gives surpasses the happiness found in abundant harvests ('corn and their wine increased'). This isn't otherworldly spirituality disconnected from material reality - David acknowledges that harvests bring legitimate joy. Yet God-given gladness transcends and exceeds even life's greatest earthly pleasures. The Hebrew 'simchah' (gladness) describes deep, abiding joy rooted in God's character, not circumstances. This anticipates Jesus's promise of fullness of joy (John 15:11).
