His heart is steady; he will not be afraid, until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
The world thinks wickedness brings prosperity, and most pursue it by fraud and plunder because they believe integrity brings misery. The prophet shows us otherwise: God's fatherly care yields far more advantage than any injury we could inflict to seize what we want.

Commenting on Psalm 112:1-10
His heart is established. His love to God is deep and true, his confidence in God is firm and unmoved; his courage has a firm foundation, and is supported by Omnipotence. He has become settled by experience, and confirmed by years. He is not a rolling stone, but a pillar in the house of the Lord. He shall not be afraid.
The righteous man's reputation is settled and firm; his foundation cannot be moved. Though enemies labor to sully his name, his integrity shall clear itself and endure in everlasting remembrance, while wicked men's lifted horns shall all be cut off.
