What did Jeremiah mean in 20:9 saying, "his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones"?

111:2 says that the works of the Lord are "pondered by all who delight in them."  What benefit will you gain from delighting in the works of the Lord?

112:5 says, "Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely."  In what way does God want you to be generous?

113:7 says that God raises the poor from the dust.  What does this show you about the nature of God?
