thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame This is a good idiomatic representation of the Hebrew, which is literally -thou hast added wisdom and goodness to the fame &c." The -goodness" here spoken of includes all material prosperity. Cf. Job 2:10, where the same word stands in the original, -Shall we receive good(i.e. such prosperity as Job had previously enjoyed) at the hand of God and shall we not receive evil?" See also Psalms 104:28.
