As it is written,.... In Ps 112:9 where it is said of the good and righteous man,he hath dispersed hynwmm, "his riches", his substance, as the Chaldee paraphrase adds by way of explanation; not in a profuse extravagant manner, but with wisdom and prudence, and yet largely and liberally, according to his ability.
Just as the sower scatters his seed here, and there, and in every place, with an open and wide hand, to the good man distributes to all in necessity, and makes them all partakers of his bounty; he gives not only to one, but to many, and not to all without distinction he meets with, whether necessitous or not:he hath given to the poor.
This explains the former phrase, and points out the persons, the objects of the good man's bounty and compassion:his righteousness remaineth for ever.
