3 Wealth and riches are in his house; and his merit endureth for ever.

4 Unto the upright He shineth as a light in the darkness, gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is stedfast, trusting in the LORD.

9 He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honour.

10 The wicked shall see it, and be vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away; the desire of the wicked shall perish.
