In the biblical context, wealth and riches are often seen as signs of God's favor and blessing, as seen in the lives of patriarchs like Abraham (<a href="/genesis/13-2.htm">Genesis 13:2</a>) and Solomon (<a href="/1_kings/10-23.htm">1 Kings 10:23</a>). However, the Bible also warns against the dangers of wealth, emphasizing that it should not become an idol (<a href="/matthew/6-24.htm">Matthew 6:24</a>). The cultural context of ancient Israel viewed wealth as a means to support the community and fulfill God's covenantal promises. Archaeological findings, such as those from ancient Israelite homes, indicate that wealth was often measured in livestock, land, and goods rather than currency. This phrase also connects to the broader biblical theme that God provides for those who fear Him and walk in His ways (<a href="/psalms/128.htm">Psalm 128:1-2</a>).<p><b>and his righteousness endures forever</b><br>This part of the verse highlights the eternal nature of righteousness. In the biblical narrative, righteousness is not merely a moral quality but a relational one, reflecting a right standing with God. The enduring nature of righteousness is a recurring theme in Scripture, pointing to the eternal rewards and legacy of the righteous (<a href="/proverbs/10-7.htm">Proverbs 10:7</a>). This phrase can be seen as a foreshadowing of the eternal righteousness found in Jesus Christ, who is the ultimate fulfillment of God's promise of enduring righteousness (<a href="/2_corinthians/5-21.htm">2 Corinthians 5:21</a>). Theologically, it underscores the belief that true righteousness, as opposed to temporary wealth, has lasting value and is preserved by God Himself. This enduring righteousness is a testament to God's faithfulness and the transformative power of His covenant with His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_righteous_man.htm">The Righteous Man</a></b><br>The primary subject of <a href="/bsb/psalms/112.htm">Psalm 112</a>, representing those who fear the Lord and delight in His commandments.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_house.htm">The House</a></b><br>Symbolic of the life and legacy of the righteous, encompassing both material and spiritual blessings.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/w/wealth_and_riches.htm">Wealth and Riches</a></b><br>Denotes both material prosperity and spiritual abundance granted by God to the righteous.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/r/righteousness.htm">Righteousness</a></b><br>The enduring quality of living in accordance with God's will, which is highlighted as eternal.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_psalmist.htm">The Psalmist</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed to David, though the specific author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/112.htm">Psalm 112</a> is not definitively known.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_true_wealth.htm">Understanding True Wealth</a></b><br>True wealth is not just material but includes spiritual richness and a legacy of righteousness.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_endurance_of_righteousness.htm">The Endurance of Righteousness</a></b><br>Unlike material wealth, which can be fleeting, righteousness endures forever and is of eternal value.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_provision_for_the_righteous.htm">God's Provision for the Righteous</a></b><br>God provides for those who fear Him and follow His commandments, ensuring both their needs and their spiritual growth are met.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/b/balancing_material_and_spiritual_riches.htm">Balancing Material and Spiritual Riches</a></b><br>While material wealth is a blessing, it should be used to further God's kingdom and reflect His righteousness.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/l/legacy_of_the_righteous.htm">Legacy of the Righteous</a></b><br>The righteous leave a lasting impact through their actions and faith, influencing future generations.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_112.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 112</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_do_poor_devout_reconcile_psalm_112_3.htm">Psalm 112:3 declares that the righteous will enjoy wealth and riches; how does this reconcile with devout individuals who remain poor and persecuted throughout history? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_defines_the_fullness_of_joy.htm">What is more precious than gold?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_psalm_7_8_contradict_romans_3_10.htm">If Psalm 7:8 claims personal righteousness, does this contradict the broader biblical teaching of universal sinfulness (e.g., Romans 3:10)?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_are_devout_believers_still_poor.htm">Job 22:25-26 implies material blessings for faithfulness--how do we address situations where devout believers remain in poverty?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/112.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(3) <span class= "bld">His righteousness endureth for ever.</span>--The parallelism in <a href="/psalms/112-9.htm" title="He has dispersed, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.">Psalm 112:9</a>, where the same clause is repeated, seems to require for righteousness the limited sense which the Talmud gives the word--viz., <span class= "ital">liberality </span>or <span class= "ital">beneficence. </span>See also <a href="/daniel/4-27.htm" title="Why, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of your tranquility.">Daniel 4:27</a>, in the LXX.
