Psalms 112
Psalm 112 is a wisdom psalm that describes the blessings of those who fear YHWH and delight in His commandments, including prosperity, descendants, stability, and generosity toward the poor.[1][2][3] The psalm contrasts the enduring righteousness and honor of the godly with the ultimate frustration and perishing desires of the wicked.[1][2][6]
