Settings

3 1Wealth and riches are in his house, and his 2righteousness endures forever.
4 Light dawns in the darkness 3for the upright; he is gracious, merciful, and 4righteous.
5 It is well with the man who 5deals generously and lends; who conducts his affairs with justice.
6 For the righteous will 6never be moved; 7he will be remembered forever.
7 He is not 8afraid of bad news; his 9heart is firm, 10trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is steady; he will not be afraid, until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
9 He has 11distributed freely; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his 12horn is exalted in honor.
10 The wicked man sees it and is angry; he 13gnashes his teeth and 14melts away; 15the desire of the wicked will perish!

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 112

This psalm, also, very probably, was written by David, and is composed as the former, in an alphabetical order. The inscription of it in the Syriac version is,

``When David in it commanded Solomon his son, saying, Keep the commandments of, the Lord, and worship him: likewise the calling of the Gentiles and the righteousness of Christ.''

The subject matter of the psalm are the character, conduct, usefulness, and happiness of a good man.
