Psalms112

The Righteous Will Never Be Moved
1112:1 This psalm is an acrostic poem, each line beginning with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet112:1 See Ps. 104:35Praise the Lord!
112:1 Ps. 128:1, 4; [Ps. 111:10; 115:13] Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
who 112:1 See Ps. 1:2greatly delights in his commandments!
2His 112:2 [Ps. 25:13; 102:28; Prov. 11:21; 20:7] offspring will be mighty in the land;
112:2 Ps. 37:26the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3112:3 See Prov. 3:16Wealth and riches are in his house,
and his 112:3 [Ps. 111:3]righteousness endures forever.
4Light dawns in the darkness 112:4 [Job 11:17]; See Ps. 97:11for the upright;
he is gracious, merciful, and 112:4 [Matt. 1:19]righteous.
5It is well with the man who 112:5 See Ps. 37:26deals generously and lends;
who conducts his affairs with justice.
6For the righteous will 112:6 Ps. 55:22never be moved;
112:6 [Prov. 10:7]he will be remembered forever.
7He is not 112:7 Prov. 1:33afraid of bad news;
his 112:7 Ps. 57:7heart is firm, 112:7 Ps. 11:1; 64:10trusting in the Lord.
8His heart is steady;112:8 Or established (compare 111:8) he will not be afraid,
until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
9He has 112:9 Cited 2 Cor. 9:9distributed freely; he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever;
his 112:9 See Ps. 75:10horn is exalted in honor.
10The wicked man sees it and is angry;
he 112:10 [Matt. 8:12; Luke 13:28]; See Job 16:9gnashes his teeth and 112:10 [Ps. 58:8] melts away;
112:10 See Job 8:13the desire of the wicked will perish!
