Commentary on Psalms 112:4

Theological / Devotional

Light in the darkness. The Lord is the light that arises in the darkness unto them that are sincere toward Him: He is “the Sun of righteousness” (Mal. 4:2). He is gracious and full of compassion. The adjectives here used are in the singular number, whereas the word for “upright” is in the plural. It seems clear, however, from the general tenor of the psalm that the godly man is being described. The righteous man shares the divine attributes. He becomes a partaker of the divine nature (see 2 Peter 1:4).
