4 Light arises in the darkness 1for the upright; He is 2gracious and compassionate and righteous.
5 It is well with the man who 3is gracious and lends; He will maintain his cause in judgment.
6 For he will 4never * be shaken; The 5righteous will be remembered forever.
7 He will not fear 6evil tidings; His 7heart is steadfast, 8trusting in the LORD.
8 His 9heart is upheld, he 10will not fear, Until he 11looks with satisfaction on his adversaries.
9 He 12has given freely to the poor, His righteousness endures forever; His 13horn will be exalted in honor.
10 The 14wicked will see it and be vexed, He will 15gnash his teeth and 16melt away; The 17desire of the wicked will perish.
