Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 111:5

"He hath given food unto them that fear him: He will ever be mindful of his covenant." — Psalms 111:5 (ASV)

He has given. —Better, He gave.

Meat. —The word often means “prey,” from its being torn as by a wild beast, but it is used in Proverbs 31:15, Malachi 3:10, in the simple sense of food. (Compare also the verb, Proverbs 30:8.) There does not, therefore, need to be any allusion to the spoils taken in the Canaanitish wars, though the next verse makes this exceedingly probable. (See Sir G. Grove’s remarks; article “Meat” in Smith’s Bible Dictionary.)
