For he will never be shaken; others will always remember one who is just. He does not fear bad news. He is confident; he trusts in the LORD. His resolve is firm; he will not succumb to fear before he looks in triumph on his enemies. He generously gives to the needy; his integrity endures. He will be vindicated and honored. 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.”

    “The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens. Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high: and looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth? Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill: That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people. Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children. ”

  • BBE

    “For the upright there is a light shining in the dark; he is full of grace and pity. All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged. He will not ever be moved; the memory of the upright will be living for ever. He will have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord. His heart is resting safely, he will have no fear, till he sees trouble come on his haters. He has given with open hands to the poor; his righteousness is for ever; his horn will be lifted up with honour. The sinner will see it with grief; he will be wasted away with envy; the desire of the evil-doers will come to nothing.”
