Psalms 112:2 - Exposition

His seed shall be mighty upon earth . The phrase used of Nimrod in Genesis 10:8 , but not necessarily to be taken in exactly the same sense; rather as gibor hail in Ruth 2:1 and 1 Samuel 9:1 , "wealthy, prosperous." The generation of the upright shall be blessed ; i . e . shall receive blessing from the Most High, and shall therefore prosper. To be blessed in one's seed was, under the old covenant, the highest of blessings.
