(As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
(As it is written - realizing the highly blessed character, Psalms 112:5; Psalms 112:9.
He - the "good man."
Dispersed - as seed sown with full and open hand, without anxious thought where each grain may fall. It is implied also that he has always what he may disperse.
The poor. The Greek х penees (G3993)] is here only found in the New Testament, 'one in straitened circumstances, who earns his bread by labour.' The usual word [ptochos] means 'one so poor as to live by circumstances, who earns his bread by labour.' The usual word [ptochos] means 'one so poor as to live by begging.'
His righteousness - here 'beneficence:' the evidence of being righteous before God and man. Compare Deuteronomy 24:13; Matthew 6:1, "alms;" Greek, 'righteousness.' Alms are the poor man's rightful due in God's sight.
Remaineth - unfailing.
