Psalm 112
|
|
| 112:1
Praise ye the LORD. Blessed
is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his
commandments. |
Should we fear God?
|
| 112:2
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall
be blessed. |
|
| 112:3
Wealth and riches
shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. |
(112:1,3)
According to this verse, wealth is a sign of righteousness. But this is
contradicted in Luke (6:24) and James (5:1).
Is it good to be wealthy?
|
| 112:4
Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and
full of compassion, and righteous.
|
| 112:5
A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with
discretion. |
|
| 112:6
Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in
everlasting remembrance. |
|
| 112:7
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in
the LORD. |
|
| 112:8
His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire
upon his enemies. |
|
| 112:9
He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth
for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. |
|
| 112:10
The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth,
and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
