Psalms 112:2

2. His seed shall be mighty upon earth A characteristic blessing of the covenant, (Genesis 13:15-16; Genesis 15:18; Genesis 17:8,) and the characteristic passion of the Hebrew people. The Greek reading of the last clause of Numbers 23:10, is, “And let my seed be like his seed.” “Mighty,” in the text, is not to be taken in the sense of heroic, warlike, as often, but in the sense of powerful having dominion, swaying the forces of society, and this is God’s purpose in regard to his true Church.
