It is well with those who deal generously and lend,
who conduct their affairs with justice.
The Hebrew לָוָה or lavah means to join together.
Above it is translated as lend.
Debtor and lender are joined together. The strength of this connection has recently been highlighted.
In scripture God is often compared to a landowner or lender. We are the tenant or debtor.
We are always behind on our payments.
God responds patiently, constructively, lovingly, redemptively. It is well for those who conduct their affairs with justice.
Psalm 112
