Psaume 112:3 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 112:3

Wealth and riches shall be in his house
In his family; if not possessed by him, yet by his posterity: though rather this signifies spiritual riches, the riches of grace, the unsearchable riches of Christ, durable riches and righteousness; seeing it is connected with an everlasting righteousness, as in the next clause.

And his righteousness endureth for ever;
he is not hurt by his temporal riches, as others are, the prodigal, the covetous, and formal professor; he continues the good and righteous man he was, notwithstanding his riches. Some understand this of his liberality with his riches, as alms deeds are sometimes called righteousness; see ( Psalms 112:9 ) ( Matthew 6:1 ) though it rather intends either inherent righteousness, the new man which is created in righteousness, the inward principle of grace which always continues; or the righteousness of Christ imputed to him, which is an everlasting one.

Psaume 112:3 In-Context

1 Louez l'Eternel! Heureux l'homme qui craint l'Eternel, Qui trouve un grand plaisir à ses commandements.

2 Sa postérité sera puissante sur la terre, La génération des hommes droits sera bénie.

3 Il a dans sa maison bien-être et richesse, Et sa justice subsiste à jamais.

4 La lumière se lève dans les ténèbres pour les hommes droits, Pour celui qui est miséricordieux, compatissant et juste.

5 Heureux l'homme qui exerce la miséricorde et qui prête. Qui règle ses actions d'après la justice.
