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

7 He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in YHWH.

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

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

The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.
