Psalm 112:7 Meaning Explained (KJV)

Psalm 112:7 means that a person whose heart is settled in trust toward God is not finally governed by bad news. This short King James Version study explains what evil tidings means, what it means for a heart to be fixed, and how verse 7 fits the wider portrait of the righteous person in Psalm 112, from the fear of the LORD and delight in His commandments in verse 1 to the light in darkness, compassion, generosity, and stability described later in the psalm. It also states plainly what the verse does not promise: not a life without bad news, not trouble-free circumstances, and not the absence of every feeling of fear. Psalm 112:7 says: "He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD."
