Gill's Notes on the Bible
He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed,.... Or "a good eye" y; 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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
He that hath a bountiful eye - literally, as in the margin, contrasted with the “evil eye†of Proverbs 28:22.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 22:9. A bountiful eye — One that disposes him to help all that he sees to be in want; the bountiful eye means the bountiful heart; for the heart looks through the eye. The merciful heart, even when the hand has little or nothing to give, shall be blessed of the Lord.
