God's Goodness: More Than Material
The verse lists tangible blessings like grain, wine, and oil. Commentators explain these are earthly pictures of a deeper, spiritual reality. While God provides for physical needs, the ultimate promise is for the soul to be 'as a watered garden'—thriving, fruitful, and refreshed by His Spirit. Scholars like Calvin and Gill see these physical goods as symbols pointing to the spiritual nourishment, joy, and grace found in Christ and His church.
