Psalm 112:9

New English Translation

⁹He generously gives^[a] to the needy;
his integrity endures.^[b]
He will be vindicated and honored.^[c]

Psalm 112:9 tn Heb “he scatters, he gives.”
Psalm 112:9 tn Heb “stands forever.”
Psalm 112:9 tn Heb “his horn will be lifted up in honor.” The horn of an ox underlies the metaphor (see Deut 33:17; 1 Kgs 22:11; Ps 92:10). The horn of the wild ox is frequently a metaphor for military strength; the idiom “exalt/lift up the horn” signifies military victory (see 1 Sam 2:10; Pss 89:17, 24; 92:10; Lam 2:17).

⁴¹Yet he protected^[a] the needy from oppression,
and cared for his families like a flock of sheep.
