Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Psalms 112:5

A good man sheweth favour, and (d) lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

(d) He shows what the fruit of mercy is, to lend freely and not for gain, and so to measure his doings that he may be able to help where need requires and not to bestow all on himself.
