Introduction
The blessedness of the man that fears the Lord, both as it regards himself and his family, Psalm 112:1-3 ; his conduct to his family, his neighbors, and the poor, Psalm 112:4-9 ; the envy of the wicked at his prosperity, Psalm 112:10 .
This is another of the acrostic or alphabetical Psalms, under the title Hallelujah. It is formed exactly as the preceding in the division of its verses. It has ten verses in the whole: the first eight contain each two hemistichs, beginning with a consecutive letter of the alphabet; the ninth and tenth verses, three each, making twenty-two in the whole. It is understood to have been written after the captivity, and probably by Zechariah and Haggai: to them it is ascribed by the Vulgate.
