[3] Honor and wealth in his home, his justice remains forever.

[4] Sprout in darkness as a light for the righteous, good, merciful and just.

[5] Happy is the compassionate man who borrows, manages his property with justice.


[6] He will not waver forever: The righteous will always be remembered.

[7] He will not fear the announcement of doom, his heart is steadfast, he trusts in the Lord.

[8] His heart is sure, he does not fear, until he triumphs over his enemies.

[9] He gives widely to the poor, his justice remains forever, his power rises in glory.

[10] The wicked see and get angry, grind their teeth and wear themselves out. But the desire of the wicked fails.
