Могущественным будет на земле его потомство;
    поколение праведных благословится.
Изобилие и богатство будут в его доме,
    и его праведность будет пребывать вечно.
Для честных восходит свет во тьме,
    он милостив, милосерден и праведен[a].
Благо человеку, который великодушен и щедро дает взаймы,
    тому, кто ведет свои дела справедливо.

Он никогда не поколеблется;
    праведник будет в вечной памяти.
Не побоится плохих известий;
    сердце его твердо, уповая на Господа.
Сердце его крепко – он не испугается;
    он увидит падение своих врагов.
Он щедро раздал свое имущество бедным,
    и его праведность пребывает вовек,
рог[b] его вознесется в славе.

10 Нечестивый увидит и разозлится,
    заскрипит зубами и исчезнет.
Желание нечестивых не сбудется.
