Psalm Ps. 112. This wisdom psalm joins Psalms 1; 37; 49; 73; 127;; 128 (with 34:11–14) in making themes from the Wisdom Literature the topic of prayer, praise, and instruction in worship. Psalm 112 is also a companion to Psalm 111 (see note on Psalm 111). This psalm focuses on the moral character of the faithful, and on the benefits such people bring to themselves and to others.
Ps. 112:1 Blessed. See note on 1:1. Fears the Lord links with 111:10 and shows that the two psalms belong together. greatly delights in his commandments. Proper “fear” of the Lord is not terror but reverent love (see 1:2).
Ps. 112:3 Wealth and riches. See note on Prov. 10:4. his righteousness endures forever. In Ps. 111:3, this referred to God’s righteousness. Now the same word is used to describe faithful humans: God’s own character is visible in them (see 2 Pet. 1:4).
Ps. 112:4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright. As in 97:11 (see note), the image of light represents God’s guidance. He makes the right path clear for the faithful (see note on Prov. 4:18–19).
Ps. 112:10 The wicked man is the person who despises the covenant. Here he is probably an Israelite. The desire of such people will not bear fruit; instead it will perish (compare 1:6).
