Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 112:5

Lendeth. The original word here, hwl, lavah, means to join oneself to any one; to cleave to him; then to form the union which is constituted between debtor and creditor, borrower and lender. Here it is used in the latter sense, and it means that a good man will accommodate another —a neighbour —with money, or with articles to be used temporarily and returned again. A man who always borrows is not a desirable neighbour; but a man who never lends —who never is willing to accommodate —is a neighbour that no one would wish to live near —a crooked, perverse, bad man. True religion will always dispose a man to do acts of kindness in any and every way possible. —Albert Barnes.
