John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 9. He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed , etc.] Or “a good eye” f602 ; who looks about him for proper objects to do good unto; looks pleasantly on them, and deals out cheerfully and bountifully to them; he shall be blessed with an increase of temporal good things, with spiritual blessings, and with eternal glory and happiness; when he does what he does from principles of grace, with a view to the glory of God, not depending on what he does, but upon the grace of God, and the righteousness of Christ; for he giveth of his bread to the poor ; what is his own and a part of it; not all, for he reserves some as he ought for himself and his; but he does not eat his morsel alone, he gives of it to the necessitous; his beneficent hand is a proof of his bountiful eye and liberal heart.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9 - He that seeks to relieve the wants and miseries of others shall be blessed.
