Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

4 exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis misericors et miserator et iustus

Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

5 iucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat disponet sermones suos in iudicio

Good [is] the man — gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

6 quia in aeternum non commovebitur

For — to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

7 in memoria aeterna erit iustus ab auditione mala non timebit paratum cor eius sperare in Domino

Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

8 confirmatum est cor eius non commovebitur donec dispiciat inimicos suos

Sustained is his heart — he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

9 dispersit dedit pauperibus iustitia eius manet in saeculum saeculi cornu eius exaltabitur in gloria

He hath scattered — hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

10 peccator videbit et irascetur dentibus suis fremet et tabescet desiderium peccatorum peribit

The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
