Alleluia of the return of Haggai and Zechariah, psalm.
Ps.111:1. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord; he will greatly delight in His commandments.
This teaches the Apostolic Face that the fulfillment of the commandments, making those who do it blessed, gives good aspirations in the future century.
Ps.111:2. His seed will be mighty on the earth.
“Seed” refers to good deeds that will have spiritual power in that land of the meek so that they will receive rewards for what they have done.
Ps.111:3. Fame and wealth are in his house.
Regarding fame and wealth, understand that they are not transitory, because nothing of the kind is found among the saints.
Ps.111:4. A light rises in the darkness to the right,
from knowledge and teaching. What kind of light is this? Is this not the Apostolic face, which through the preaching of the Gospel drove out the ignorance of the pagans?
Ps.111:5. He will arrange His words at the trial.
For one should not simply and without reasoning offer the secret word to everyone. This is what the Lord himself said: “Do not mark... the holy one with a dog” (Matthew 7:6).
Ps.111:7. He will not fear evil from hearing;
because the fear of the punished has nothing to do with the saints.
Ps.111:9. Spend it on the poor.
By “poor” we also mean here those who need the Divine word, that is, the pagans. The apostles, like farmers, sowed the mental word. Nothing prevents us from understanding this in a historical sense.
His truth endures forever,” etc.,
that is, the truth of Him who taught the Gospel word.
Ps.111:10. The sinner will see and become angry.
He calls the devil a sinner, who is indignant when he sees the pagans being saved, as if he thirsted for the destruction of all.
