He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor - (Proverbs 11:24; 2 Corinthians 9:9.)
His righteousness endureth forever - i:e., his charity (which is only giving that which is due to each-to the poor the supply which they need, and which it is right for their richer brethren to give) endureth forever, as a fruit of faith, and to be rewarded of God's grace (Hebrews 6:10). So in the oldest manuscripts (Matthew 6:1), the reading for "alms" is righteousness х dikaiosunee (G1343)]. His horn shall be exalted with honour - in spite of his enemies' attempt to put him to shame (Psalms 75:4; Psalms 75:10, notes; 92:10).
