John Trapp Complete Commentary

Psalms 112:3

Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

Ver. 3. Wealth and riches] Wealth enough, as the word Hon signifieth, a well contented sufficiency. His "chambers shall be filled with all precious and pleasant riches," Proverbs 24:4 .

His righteousness endureth for ever] He is not the worse for his wealth, nor drawn aside by the deceitfulness of riches, which yet is hard and happy.

Ardua res haec est opibus non tradere mores:

Et cum tot Croesos viceris, esse Numam

(Martial).
