Psalms 112:9

9 He generously gives ^{▼▼ Heb “he scatters, he gives.”} to the needy;
his integrity endures. ^{▼▼ Heb “stands forever.”}
He will be vindicated and honored. ^{▼▼ Heb “his horn will be lifted up in honor.” The horn of an ox underlies the metaphor (see Deut 33:17; 1 Kgs 22:11; Ps 92:10). The horn of the wild ox is frequently a metaphor for military strength; the idiom “exalt/lift up the horn” signifies military victory (see 1 Sam 2:10; Pss 89:17, 24; 92:10; Lam 2:17).}
