<< Psalms 111:4 Psalms 111:6 >>
Psalms 111:5
He hath given meat unto them that fear him - Margin, "prey." The idea is, that he has supplied their needs. The Hebrew word is, "prey," and the allusion is to the mode in which the needs of the beasts of the field are supplied. The meaning may be that they had obtained this from their enemies, as beasts of prey take their food by making war; or the word may be used in a general sense, as meaning that God had supplied their needs.
He will ever be mindful of his covenant - He will never leave or forsake his people; he will be faithful to all the promises that he has made to them.
