3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endures for ever.

4 To the upright there rises light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.

6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

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

9 He has dispersed, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.

He has scattered, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.

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