⁵⁾A good man showeth favor, and lendeth; he will guide his affairs with discretion.

⁶⁾Surely he shall not be moved forever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

⁷⁾He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.

⁸⁾His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see judgment executed upon his enemies.

⁹⁾He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth forever; 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.
