G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 112:1-10

This song follows immediately upon the last as to meaning. While that has set forth the praises of Jehovah as great and gracious, this declares the blessedness of the man who lives in true relation with Jehovah. The connection is clearly seen in the relation of the closing verse of the former to the opening verse of this. “The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom.” “Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah.” The remarkable thing about this psalm is the way in which, in describing the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 112:1-10

Pss. CXI. and CXII. These are sister Pss. as is shown by their structure. Each contains nine verses. Each verse has two lines, each line beginning with a letter of the alphabet in due succession. We have thus eighteen lines, so that we get eighteen letters of the acrostic in all. To get twenty-one lines in each, corresponding to the number of letters in the alphabet, the author or authors added at the end of each Ps. a verse with three lines, which is precisely the number wanted. The... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 112:1-10

This, like the preseding, is an alphabetical psalm. From the Latin title, it would seem to have been a favourite ode with the prophets Haggai and Zechariah. Psalms 112:1 . Delighteth greatly. The Chaldaic, “Is expert in his commandments.” Psalms 112:8 . See his desire upon his enemies. The Chaldaic, “Till he see redemption or deliverance from his enemies.” Expressions of like import may be found in Psalms 118:7. Psalms 112:9 . His righteousness endureth for ever, as in Psalms 112:3.... read more

Psa 112:7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. Ver. 7. He shall not be afraid of evil tidings ] When the miserly miscreant is ready to make away himself, for fear of what evil may follow, this man is undaunted and unappalled. The fear of God so ballasteth his heart, that he floateth steadily; and blow what wind it will, he saileth safe to the port.
