His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
A good man showeth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

112:3 endureth for ever. Psalm 111 stressed the never-ending attributes of God (see note on Psalm 111:8), whereas Psalm 112 follows by noting the never-ending attributes of the redeemed, as centered on their righteousness (Psalm 112:3,6,9), as imputed through faith (Romans 4:5), and created in Christ (Ephesians 2:10).


112:9 endureth for ever. Paul used this verse to encourage generosity among Christian believers (II Corinthians 9:9).
