a generation of upright people [who] will be blessed.
3. Immense wealth is in his house,
and his righteousness endures forever.
4. A light for the upright has risen in the darkness,
merciful and compassionate and righteous.
5. Fortunate is the one who lends generously,
[who] manages his affairs with justice!
6. For he will never waver.
The righteous one will be remembered forever.
7. He will not be afraid of bad news.
His heart is confident, trusting in YHWH.
8. His heart is encouraged. He will not be afraid,
until he looks [in triumph] on his adversaries.
9. He has given freely to the poor.
His righteousness endures forever.
His horn will rise in honor.
10. The wicked person will see and become vexed.
He will grind his teeth and waste away.
The desire of the wicked will come to an end.
