1 Praise H1984 ye the LORD. H3050 Blessed H835 is the man H376 that feareth H3372 the LORD, H3068 that delighteth H2654 greatly H3966 in his commandments. H4687
[[A Song H7892 of degrees.]] H4609 Blessed H835 is every one that feareth H3373 the LORD; H3068 that walketh H1980 in his ways. H1870
I will delight H8173 myself in thy statutes: H2708 I will not forget H7911 thy word. H1697
He will fulfil H6213 the desire H7522 of them that fear H3373 him: he also will hear H8085 their cry, H7775 and will save H3467 them.
And G2532 his G846 mercy G1656 is on them that fear G5399 him G846 from G1519 generation G1074 to generation. G1074
Kings H4428 of the earth, H776 and all people; H3816 princes, H8269 and all judges H8199 of the earth: H776 Both young men, H970 and maidens; H1330 old men, H2205 and children: H5288 Let them praise H1984 the name H8034 of the LORD: H3068 for his name H8034 alone is excellent; H7682 his glory H1935 is above the earth H776 and heaven. H8064 He also exalteth H7311 the horn H7161 of his people, H5971 the praise H8416 of all his saints; H2623 even of the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 a people H5971 near H7138 unto him. Praise H1984 ye the LORD. H3050
MEM. O how love I H157 thy law! H8451 it is my meditation H7881 all the day. H3117
Their heart H3820 is as fat H2954 as grease; H2459 but I delight H8173 in thy law. H8451 It is good H2896 for me that I have been afflicted; H6031 that I might learn H3925 thy statutes. H2706 The law H8451 of thy mouth H6310 is better H2896 unto me than thousands H505 of gold H2091 and silver. H3701
Make me to go H1869 in the path H5410 of thy commandments; H4687 for therein do I delight. H2654
I have rejoiced H7797 in the way H1870 of thy testimonies, H5715 as much as in H5921 all riches. H1952
They have hands, H3027 but they handle H4184 not: feet H7272 have they, but they walk H1980 not: neither speak H1897 they through their throat. H1627 They that make H6213 them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth H982 in them. O Israel, H3478 trust H982 thou in the LORD: H3068 he is their help H5828 and their shield. H4043 O house H1004 of Aaron, H175 trust H982 in the LORD: H3068 he is their help H5828 and their shield. H4043 Ye that fear H3373 the LORD, H3068 trust H982 in the LORD: H3068 he is their help H5828 and their shield. H4043 The LORD H3068 hath been mindful H2142 of us: he will bless H1288 us; he will bless H1288 the house H1004 of Israel; H3478 he will bless H1288 the house H1004 of Aaron. H175 He will bless H1288 them that fear H3373 the LORD, H3068 both small H6996 and great. H1419
I delight H2654 to do H6213 thy will, H7522 O my God: H430 yea, thy law H8451 is within H8432 my heart. H4578
Blessed H835 is the man H376 that walketh H1980 not in the counsel H6098 of the ungodly, H7563 nor standeth H5975 in the way H1870 of sinners, H2400 nor sitteth H3427 in the seat H4186 of the scornful. H3887 But his delight H2656 is in the law H8451 of the LORD; H3068 and in his law H8451 doth he meditate H1897 day H3119 and night. H3915

Commentary on Psalms 112 Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
PSALM 112
Ps 112:1-10. This Psalm may be regarded as an exposition of Ps 111:10, presenting the happiness of those who fear and obey God, and contrasting the fate of the ungodly.
1. True fear produces obedience and this happiness.
2, 3. Temporal blessings follow the service of God, exceptions occurring only as they are seen by God to be inconsistent with those spiritual blessings which are better.
4. light—figurative for relief (Ps 27:1; 97:11).
the upright—are like God (Lu 6:36; Ps 111:4).
5-9. Generosity, sound judgment in business, and confidence in God, form a character which preserves from fear of evil and ensures success against enemies. While a man thus truly pious is liberal, he increases in substance.
6. not be moved—(compare Ps 13:4; 15:5).
8. heart is established—or, firm in right principles.
see his desire—(Ps 50:23; 54:7).
10. Disappointed in their malevolent wishes by the prosperity of the pious, the wicked are punished by the working of their evil passions, and come to naught.
