Psalms 112:3

112:3 His house contains wealth and riches;

his integrity endures. ¹ 

Psalms 112:6

112:6 For he will never be upended;

others will always remember one who is just. ² 

Psalms 112:9

112:9 He generously gives ³  to the needy;

his integrity endures. ⁴ 

He will be vindicated and honored. ⁵ 

[112:3]  ¹ tn Heb “stands forever.”

[112:6]  ² tn Heb “for an eternal memorial a just [one] will be.”

[112:9]  ³ tn Heb “he scatters, he gives.”

[112:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “stands forever.”

[112:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “his horn will be lifted up in honor.” The horn of an ox underlies the metaphor (see Deut 33:17; 1 Kgs 22:11; Ps 92:10). The horn of the wild ox is frequently a metaphor for military strength; the idiom “exalt/lift up the horn” signifies military victory (see 1 Sam 2:10; Pss 89:17, 24; 92:10; Lam 2:17).
