Settings

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