    until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
He has (A)distributed freely; he has given to the poor;
    his righteousness endures for ever;

10 The wicked man sees it and is angry;
    he (C)gnashes his teeth and (D)melts away;
    (E)the desire of the wicked will perish!

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 112:9 Horn here symbolizes dignity.

His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
