Texts -- Psalms 112:5-10 (NET)

Context
112:5 It goes well for the one who generously lends money, and conducts his business honestly . 112:6 For he will never be upended ; others will always remember one who is just . 112:7 He does not fear bad news . He is confident ; he trusts in the Lord . 112:8 His resolve is firm ; he will not succumb to fear before he looks in triumph on his enemies . 112:9 He generously gives to the needy ; his integrity endures . He will be vindicated and honored . 112:10 When the wicked see this, they will worry ; they will grind their teeth in frustration and melt away ; the desire of the wicked will perish .
