| 3They themselves will be wealthy, and their good deeds will last forever. | 3Wealth and riches are in his house, And his righteousness endures forever. |
| 4Light shines in the darkness for the godly. They are generous, compassionate, and righteous. | 4Light arises in the darkness for the upright; He is gracious and compassionate and righteous. |
| 5Good comes to those who lend money generously and conduct their business fairly. | 5It is well with the man who is gracious and lends; He will maintain his cause in judgment. |
| 6Such people will not be overcome by evil. Those who are righteous will be long remembered. | 6For he will never be shaken; The righteous will be remembered forever. |
| 7They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the LORD to care for them. | 7He will not fear evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. |

| 10The wicked will see this and be infuriated. They will grind their teeth in anger; they will slink away, their hopes thwarted. | 10The wicked will see it and be vexed, He will gnash his teeth and melt away; The desire of the wicked will perish. |
