2. His [spiritual] offspring shall be mighty upon earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3. Prosperity and welfare are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.
4. Light arises in the darkness for the upright, gracious, compassionate, and just [who are in right standing with God].
5. It is well with the man who deals generously and lends, who conducts his affairs with justice. [Ps. 37:26; Luke 6:35; Col. 4:5.]
6. He will not be moved forever; the [uncompromisingly] righteous (the upright, in right standing with God) shall be in everlasting remembrance. [Prov. 10:7.]
