Wealth and riches are in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.
Light arises in the darkness for the upright;
He is gracious and compassionate and righteous.
It is well with the man who is gracious and lends;
He will maintain his cause in judgment.
And his righteousness endures forever.
Light arises in the darkness for the upright;
He is gracious and compassionate and righteous.
It is well with the man who is gracious and lends;
He will maintain his cause in judgment.
Psalm
112:3-5 New American Standard
Bible (NASB)
This psalm talks
about the man who fears the Lord. It describes what he is like and then
addresses the blessings he will receive. One of the characteristics of this man
is his compassion. Like the God he fears, he has mercy and grace on those
around him. He is just and generous and helps those less fortunate. His love
for others moves him to act on their behalf. His love and respect for God
causes him to act like God. How is your heart? What do your actions show about
your love for God and others? Is compassion one of your character traits?
