10. The prosperity of the godly shall be an eyesore to the wicked














Wealth and riches
The Hebrew words for "wealth" (חֹסֶן, "ḥosen") and "riches" (עֹשֶׁר, "osher") convey a sense of abundance and prosperity. In the ancient Near Eastern context, these terms often referred to material possessions, livestock, and land, which were seen as blessings from God. Theologically, this phrase underscores the belief that God rewards the righteous with material blessings. However, from a conservative Christian perspective, it is important to understand that true wealth is not merely material but also spiritual, reflecting a life lived in accordance with God's will.

are in his house
The phrase "in his house" (בְּבֵיתוֹ, "beveito") suggests a sense of permanence and stability. In biblical times, a house was not just a physical structure but a symbol of one's family, legacy, and standing in the community. The presence of wealth and riches in one's house indicates a lasting blessing that extends to one's family and descendants. This aligns with the biblical principle that the righteous leave an inheritance for their children, both materially and spiritually.

and his righteousness
The Hebrew word for "righteousness" (צִדְקָתוֹ, "tsidkato") is deeply rooted in the concept of living in right relationship with God and others. It encompasses justice, integrity, and moral uprightness. In the biblical context, righteousness is not merely about personal piety but also about social justice and caring for the needy. For conservative Christians, this highlights the importance of living a life that reflects God's character and commands.

endures forever
The phrase "endures forever" (עוֹמֶדֶת לָעַד, "omedet la'ad") emphasizes the eternal nature of true righteousness. While material wealth is temporary, the righteousness of a person has everlasting significance. This echoes the biblical teaching that what is done for God and in accordance with His will has eternal value. For believers, this serves as a reminder to prioritize spiritual wealth over material gain, knowing that the former has lasting impact in the kingdom of God.

(3) His righteousness endureth for ever.--The parallelism in Psalm 112:9, where the same clause is repeated, seems to require for righteousness the limited sense which the Talmud gives the word--viz., liberality or beneficence. See also Daniel 4:27, in the LXX. Still the saying is true in its widest sense. "There is nothing, no, nothing, innocent or good, that dies or is forgotten; let us hold to that faith, or none" (Dickens).

Verse 3. - Wealth and riches shall be in his house. Bishop Butler has well shown how, in God's moral government of the world, virtue tends to accumulate to itself the good things of this life, and vice to disperse and dissipate them ('Analogy,' pt. 1. Psalm 3; comp. 1 Timothy 4:8). And his righteousness endureth forever. Human goodness - here called "righteousness" is a thing which does not change, since character is formed by habits, and habits are "a second nature."
