Wealth And Joy And Praise


Εὐφρανθήσεται δίκαιος ἐν τῷ Κυρίῷ, καὶ ἐλπιεῖ ἐπ' αὐτὸν· καὶ ἐπαινεθήσονται πάντες οἱ εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ. κ.τ.ἑ.

Εὐφραίνει ἄδικον πλοῦτος φθαρτὸς· τὸν δὲ δίκαιον γνῶσις Θεοῦ. Καρδίαν εὐθεῖαν ἐπαινεῖ Κύρίος· διεστραμμένην δὲ ψυχὴν ἀπώσεται ἀπ' αὐτοῦ.


Ὠριγένης, Εἰς Ψαλμους, Ψαλμος ΡΙΓ'

Source: Migne PG 12 1492
The righteous man takes joy in the Lord and he hopes in Him, and all the upright in heart shall receive praise. 1

Perishable wealth gives joy to the unrighteous man, the knowledge of God is the joy of the righteous. The Lord praises the upright of heart, the perverse soul He casts from Him.


Origen, On the Psalms, from Psalm 113

1 Ps 113.11
