Psalms 112:2-10

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: The generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches are in his house; And his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [He is] gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

5 Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; He shall maintain his cause in judgment.

6 For he shall never be moved; The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.

8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, Until he see [his desire] upon his adversaries.

9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy; His righteousness endureth for ever: His horn shall 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.
