Psalms 112:2 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

His seed shall be mighty upon earth - literally, 'a warrior upon earth:' upon that very earth whereon wicked men have boasted of their 'war-like might' for mischief (Psalms 52:1).

The generation of the upright - answering to "his seed" in parallelism.

Shall be blessed - explaining the parallel, "shall be mighty upon earth." This is but partially realized now: it shall be fully so in the millennial age, when Israel, the model people, as "the righteous nation" (Isaiah 26:2; Numbers 23:10), and all "the meek, shall inherit the earth," and the ungodly men of might shall be dispossessed (Psalms 37:9-13).
