Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 112:9

9 He hath dispersed , he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever ; his horn shall be exalted with honour .

To wit, his goods, and that freely and liberally, to several persons, as occasion is offered, as this word implies.

i. e. His liberality, as this word is used Prov. 10. 2. & 11. 4. Dan. 4. 27. 2 Cor. 9. 9, 10, &c. or the reward of it, as before v. 3.

Either, 1. his charity is not a transient or occasional act, but his constant course, of which he is not weary, but perseveres in it to the end of his life. Or, 2. what he gives is not lost nor cast away, as covetous or ungodly men judge of alms, but indeed is the onely part of his estate, which will abide with him unto all eternity.

Though he may be reproached by ungodly men, yet his innocency shall be cleared, and his name and honour gloriously exalted.
