2. His descendants will be powerful on the earth;the godly will be blessed.
3. His house contains wealth and riches;his integrity endures.
4. In the darkness a light shines for the godly,for each one who is merciful, compassionate, and just.
5. It goes well for the one who generously lends money,and conducts his business honestly.
6. For he will never be upended;others will always remember one who is just.
7. He does not fear bad news.He is confident; he trusts in the Lord.
