Psalms 112:1-6 Meaning and Commentary
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.
