Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Wesley: Psa 112:10 - The desire

Either of the misery of good men; or of his own constant prosperity.

JFB: Psa 112:10

Disappointed in their malevolent wishes by the prosperity of the pious, the wicked are punished by the working of their evil passions, and come to naught.

Clarke: Psa 112:10 - The wicked shall see it

The wicked shall see it - רשע rasha , the wicked one. Some think Satan is meant. It is distinguished from רשעים reshaim , wicked men, in the conclusion of the verse

Clarke: Psa 112:10 - Shall gnash with his teeth

Clarke: Psa 112:10 - And melt away

And melt away - Through envy and hopeless expectation of similar good; for his desire in reference to himself and in reference to him who is the object of his envy, shall perish - shall come to nothing

Calvin: Psa 112:10 - The wicked shall see it

10.The wicked shall see it ³⁵⁰ Here follows a contrast similar to that which we met with in Psa 2:5, which renders the grace of God towards the faithful the more illustrious. His meaning is, that though the wicked may cast off all regard to piety, and banish from their minds all thoughts of human affairs being under the superintending providence of God, they shall yet be made to feel, whether they will or no, that the righteous, in compliance with God’s command, do not vainly devote themselves to the cultivation of charity and mercy. Let them harden themselves as they choose, yet he declares that the honor, which God confers upon his children, shall be exhibited to them, the sight of which shall make them gnash with their teeth, and shall excite an envy that shall consume them by inches. ³⁵¹ In conclusion, he adds, that the wicked shall be disappointed of their desires They are never content, but are continually thirsting after something, and their confidence is as presumptuous as their avarice is unbounded. And hence, in their foolish expectations, they do not hesitate at grasping at the whole world. But the prophet tells them that God will snatch from them what they imagined was already in their possession, so that they shall always depart destitute and famishing.

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Psa 112:10 - Be grieved

Be grieved at the felicity of good men, partly, from envy at the happiness of others; partly, from his peculiar hatred of all godly men; and partly, because it is a plain testimony of God’ s justice and providence, and therefore a certain presage of his own ruin. The desire; his desire either of the misery of good men, or of his own constant prosperity and happiness in the world.

Gill: Psa 112:10 - The wicked shall see it // And be grieved // He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away

The wicked shall see it,.... The glory and happiness of the upright man: so when the witnesses shall ascend to heaven, a phrase expressive of a more glorious state of the church, their enemies shall behold them, Rev 11:12.

And be grieved; at their happiness, and grudge it: the Targum is,

"and shall be angry at him;''

the upright man.

He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away; like snow water ^r; or as a snail melteth, or as wax before the fire, Psa 58:7, shall pine away with grief and envy at the happiness and prosperity of the righteous; the wicked will weep and gnash their teeth, when they shall see them in the kingdom of heaven, and they themselves shut out, Luk 13:28. The desire of the wicked shall perish; they shall not have their desire, neither of good things for themselves here and hereafter, nor of evil things for the righteous.
