Psalm 112
Darby Translation · 10 verses
1Hallelujah! Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.2His seed shall be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.3Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house; and his righteousness abideth for ever.4Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness; he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.5It is well with the man that is gracious and lendeth; he will sustain his cause in judgment.6For he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.7He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is fixed confiding in Jehovah;8His heart is maintained, he is not afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his oppressors.9He scattereth abroad, he giveth to the needy; his righteousness abideth for ever: his horn shall be exalted with honour.10The wicked [man] shall see [it] and be vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
Darby's Synopsis
Psalm 112, on the other hand, gives the character of those who fear Jehovah, and the blessing that comes upon such when the government of God is made good. This shows how impossible it is to apply these psalms to the position of the saints now, though the exercise of faith and piety may be often in the spring of it the same. Still then, it is the deliverance of Israel which brings out Jehovah's name (v. 9, 10).
