Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 112:1-10
Psalms 112:1-10"BE ye perfect, as your Father in heaven is perfect," might be inscribed on this picture of a godly man, which, in structure and substance, reflects the contemplation of God’s character and works contained in the preceding psalm. The idea that the godly man is, in some real sense, an image of God runs through the whole, and comes out strongly, at several points, in the repetition of the same expressions in reference to both.

Others, “he will sustain his affairs by justice.” The verb primarily means “to measure,” but in the conjugation here used has the sense of “sustains.” (See Genesis 45:11; Genesis 47:12; Genesis 1:21, where the Authorised Version has “nourish.”) The meaning is... read more
