Psalm 112
v.1
Praise the Lord. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who finds great delight in his commands.
v.5
Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely, who conducts his affairs with justice.
v.7
He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
v.9
He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor, his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.
The psalmist has singled out generosity and compassion as the hallmarks of wise living. Such living leads to lasting success. The work of the godly endures; their reward is in the exaltation and honor of their children.
