Read Psalms 112 in the BiblePsalms 112:4
He shone a light in the darkness Heb. זרח [the “kal” conjugation], like הזריח, [the “hiph’il” or causative conjugation]. Its midrashic interpretation is that He Himself, so to speak, becomes a light for them, as (above 27:1): “The Lord is my light and my salvation.”
Psalms 112:5
Good is the man who is gracious, etc. who is gracious to the poor and lends [to] them, and is not strict, saying, “I cannot afford it,” but [instead] his things, which he needs for himself, in food, drink, and clothing,
he conducts with moderation and with a measure, and he spares his property.
Psalms 112:7
his heart is steadfast His heart is faithful to His Maker.
Psalms 112:8
His heart is steadfast He leans on and trusts in the Holy One, blessed be He.
Psalms 112:10
A wicked man will see and become angry Heb. וכעס, an expression of a verb in the past tense, equivalent to ויכעס [i.e., the “vav” converts the past tense to the future]. Therefore, it is vowelized half with a “kamatz” and half with a “pattah,” and the accent is at the end of the word.
