Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.

5 The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgment.

7 He shall not be afraid of [any] evil report: his heart is ready to trust in the Lord.

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