Psalm 112
1. Godliness has the promises of this life
4. And of the life to come
10. The prosperity of the godly shall be an eyesore to the wicked














Surely
The word "surely" conveys a sense of certainty and assurance. In the Hebrew text, this is often expressed with a word that implies a strong affirmation. This certainty is rooted in the promises of God, which are unwavering and steadfast. The use of "surely" here emphasizes the reliability of God's word and the confidence that the faithful can have in His promises. It is a reminder that God's assurances are not conditional or temporary but are eternal and unchanging.

he will never be shaken
The phrase "he will never be shaken" speaks to the stability and steadfastness of the righteous. In Hebrew, the concept of being "shaken" often refers to being moved or disturbed from one's place. This imagery suggests that the righteous person, grounded in faith and trust in God, will not be easily swayed by the trials and tribulations of life. Historically, this reflects the belief that those who live according to God's laws are anchored in a divine foundation that cannot be easily disrupted. It is a promise of spiritual security and resilience.

the righteous man
"The righteous man" refers to an individual who lives in accordance with God's will and commandments. In the Hebrew context, righteousness is closely associated with justice, integrity, and moral uprightness. The righteous are those who seek to align their lives with God's standards, and as a result, they are often depicted as being under God's special care and protection. This phrase underscores the biblical principle that righteousness leads to divine favor and blessing.

will be remembered forever
The promise that "the righteous man will be remembered forever" highlights the enduring legacy of those who live righteously. In the ancient Near Eastern culture, to be remembered was to have one's life and deeds acknowledged and honored by future generations. This phrase suggests that the impact of a righteous life extends beyond one's earthly existence, leaving a lasting imprint on the world. Scripturally, it reflects the belief that God honors and preserves the memory of those who faithfully serve Him, ensuring that their contributions are not forgotten. This eternal remembrance is both a reward and an encouragement for the faithful to continue in their righteous path.

(6) See Psalm 15:5; Proverbs 10:7.

Verse 6. - Surely he shall not be moved forever. God's blessing shall abide with him, and make his happiness sure and stable. (On stability as a necessary element in happiness, see Aristotle, 'Eth. Nic.,' 1. 10. § 7, 8.) The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance; i.e. everlastingly remembered by God.
