112:3 His house contains wealth and riches;
his integrity endures. 1
112:4 In the darkness a light 2 shines for the godly,
for each one who is merciful, compassionate, and just. 3
112:5 It goes well for the one 4 who generously lends money,
and conducts his business honestly. 5
112:6 For he will never be upended;
others will always remember one who is just. 6
112:7 He does not fear bad news.
He 7 is confident; he trusts 8 in the Lord.
112:8 His resolve 9 is firm; he will not succumb to fear
before he looks in triumph on his enemies.
112:9 He generously gives 10 to the needy;
his integrity endures. 11
He will be vindicated and honored. 12
112:10 When the wicked 13 see this, they will worry;
they will grind their teeth in frustration 14 and melt away;
the desire of the wicked will perish. 15
