With commentary by Mrs. Ari D. Hidalgo
Psalm 112 – verses 1-10
1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
Shalom dear ones beloved in the LORD,
The Psalm of the day: Psalm 112:1-10 “THE MAN THAT FEARETH THE LORD”, (VERSE 1A).
In Hebrew: ISH: (IS THE MAN) YA-RE: FEARS (TRUST)
YAH-WEH: LORD
In our Scripture today, the Psalmist mentions many wonderful blessings to all who fear (trust) the LORD. Here is one.
THEY WILL BE BLESSED: ASH-REI (BLESSED)
(Verse 1).
“Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.”
(Verse 1).
“Ash-rei ish ya-re et Yahweh be-mitz-vo-tav cha-Fetz’
Me-‘Od.”
In the translation from Hebrew to English …
Blessed (is) the man (who) fears (LORD) in his commandments (Who) delights greatly.
There are many wonderful blessings for all who reverentially trust In the LORD.
Let’s take a look at few more.
Psalm 1.
“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.”
(Verse 1).
“But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.”
(Verse 2).
“And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doth shall prosper.”
(Verse 3).
All who will trust in the LORD, and delight in His Word, the promise given is there will be fruitfulness, and that means, God’s living waters will benefit greatly, as it will quench the thirst of a needy soul physically, as well as, spiritually.
“THE MAN THAT FEARETH THE LORD”, (VERSE 1A).
THERE WILL BE BENEFITS: GE-MU LAV (OF HIS BENEFITS)
The Psalmist says …
“Unto the upright there ariseth light in darkness: he is gracious and full of compassion, and righteous.”
(Verse 4).
Hebrew: “Za-Rach (arises) ba-Cho-shech (the darkness) Or (light) lay-sha-Rim (the upright).”
“Light in darkness” …
The upright who fear the Lord shall be blessed.
(Verse1).
Yeshua (Jesus) our Lord, blessed be His Name said these word …
(John 8).
“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
(Verse 12).
Thank you LORD for your Word …
(Psalm 119). The Hebrew letter is Nun
“Thy word is a lamp (ner) unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
(Verse 105).
He will never direct us wrongfully.
Thank the LORD for all of His benefits that causes us to bless Him.
(Psalm 103). A Psalm of David.
“Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.”
(Verse 1).
“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits (ge mu lav).”
(Verse 2).
“Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;”
(Verse 3).
“Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;”
(Verse 4).
“Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”
(Verse 5).
CLOSING THOUGHT: “TO THE UPRIGHT THERE ARISETH LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS:” (VERSE 4A).
May the LORD bless you dear ones with His light that guides us now and for ever. As we follow Him He will lift our burdens, never walk alone, never will we be in darkness.
(MATTHEW 11).
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
(Verse 28).
“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”
(Verse 29).
“For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
(Verse 30).
Thank you Lord for all of Your Spiritual Family that walk in the fruit of the Spirit, and at Your beacon call, are ready to help those who ‘labour that are heavy laden’.
In Yeshua’s Precious Name,
