Psalms
2 Eminent in the country shall his descendants be;
a generation of upright men will be blessed.
3 In his house are resources and riches,
and his rightness stands forevermore.
4 Light comes up in darkness for upright men;
kindly and tenderhearted is a right-doer.
5 Good is a man who shows kindness and lends,
keeps up his business in justice.
6 For he will be unshaken forever;
an honest man will become an everlasting memory.
7 He will not be afraid at a report of disaster;
his heart stands firm, trusting in Jehovah.
8 His heart is anchored; he will not be afraid
till he gloats over his foes.
9 He has scattered, has given to the needy;
his right-doing stands forevermore;
his horn is carried high in honor.
10 A wrong-doer will see and be vexed,
will grind his teeth and melt down;
wrong-doers’ cravings will perish.
