Footnotes
- 9 Heb “man.”
- 10 Heb “he sustains his matters with justice.”
- 11 Heb “for an eternal memorial a just [one] will be.”
- 12 Heb “his heart,” viewed here as the seat of the volition and emotions (see Ps 108:1).
- 13 The passive participle בָּטֻחַ [בָּטוּחַ] (batuakh [batuakh]) expresses a state that results from the subject’s action. See Isa 26:3.
- 14 Heb “his heart,” viewed here as the seat of the volition.
- 15 Heb “he scatters, he gives.”
- 16 Heb “stands forever.”
- 17 Heb “his horn will be lifted up in honor.” The horn of an ox underlies the metaphor (see Deut 33:17; 1 Kgs 22:11; Ps 92:10). The horn of the wild ox is frequently a metaphor for military strength; the idiom “exalt/lift up the horn” signifies military victory (see 1 Sam 2:10; Pss 89:17, 24; 92:10; Lam 2:17).

his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.
His heart is steady; he will not be afraid,

He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever;
his horn is exalted in honor.

A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth:
He will guide his affairs with discretion.
Surely he shall not be moved for ever:
