4 They shine in the dark for others who do right.They are merciful, compassionate, and righteous.
5 Those who lend generously are good people—as are those who conduct their affairs with justice.
6 Yes, these sorts of people will never be shaken;the righteous will be remembered forever!
7 They won’t be frightened at bad news.Their hearts are steady, trusting in the Lord.
8 Their hearts are firm; they aren’t afraid.In the end, they will witness their enemies’ defeat.
9 They give freely to those in need.Their righteousness stands forever.Their strength increases gloriously.
10 The wicked see all this and fume;they grind their teeth, but disappear to nothing.What the wicked want to see happen comes to nothing!
