hide text
There are five blessings that normally come to the righteous. First, the righteous person receives physical and material prosperity (vv. 2-3). Second, he obtains light in his darkness (v. 4). Third, goodness comes to him for his generosity and justice (v. 5). Fourth, he enjoys stability and confidence (vv. 6-8). Fifth, he gets strength and honor from the Lord because he gives to the poor (v. 9).
