Psalm 112:5
A good man deals graciously and lends;
He will guide his affairs with discretion.

Application: 

The psalmist describes the person who fears the Lord. Such a person is not just talk; instead, he takes delight in [God’s] commands (112:1). He understands that fearing God is about how you live, not just what you say. The psalmist also shares the blessings available to those who fear the Lord and describes their godly character (112:2–4). As a result, they will experience goodness and be unshakeable (112:5–6).

As in Psalm 37:16–26, the little that the righteous have is better than the abundance of many wicked people (37:16). No matter how much the wicked acquire, they will eventually be broken, fade away, or be destroyed (37:17, 20, 22).

The righteous, however, have little but are supported and watched over by the Lord (37:17–18). Their inheritance will last forever (37:18). God will keep their blessings secure until the right time to give them—sometimes in history, but mostly in eternity. He is a loving Father to His people. Even when they fall, He holds them with His hand in a gentle yet firm grip (37:24). God’s children will not be abandoned; instead, He is generous to them so that they can be a blessing to others (37:25–26).
