Psalm 112

This post continues the one on Psalm 111. Each of the gem-like acrostic poems celebrates Psalm 110, the germ of incarnation, Yahweh's anointed embodying Yahweh.

The one who fears God is compared to Yahweh in these two poems. Such a person is a disciplined blogger, he will rein in his words with judgment.
