“And wealth and honor are from before you from Your hand. “Honor” applies to wealth, as it is written (Nahum 2:10): “Plunder silver! Plunder gold! etc.” And like (Gen 31:1): “... and from what belonged to our father he amassed all this wealth (הַכָּבוֹד).” That is to say that all the wealth that I have amassed is from You, for “You rule over all, and in Your hand is strength and might, etc.””
“Thine. Hebrew and Septuagint, “of thee.” (Haydock) — Greatness. Hebrew, “to magnify and strengthen all.” (Menochius) — Our riches are thy gifts; and to thee we return a part, with gladness.”
“Both riches and honour come of thee,.... Whatever of either the children of men have is not owing to their merits, nor to their diligence and industry, and wise conduct, but to the providence of God, Ecc 9:11 so the gods with the Heathens are said (o) to be givers of riches: and thou reignest over all; govern the world by wisdom, and dispose all things in it for the best: in thine hand is power and might; to do whatsoever he pleaseth: and in thine hand it is to make great; in worldly things, and so in spiritual: and to give strength unto all; against their enemies, and to do the will and work of God; of all which David had had an experience. (o) Hesiod. Opera, ver. 124. see ver. 316.”
The in-app commentary runs from the Fathers to the early-modern record, then stops — that's where the public-domain sources end, not where the reading does. For the modern reading, follow the sources directly.
