It is well with the man who (A)deals generously and lends;
    who conducts his affairs with justice.
For the righteous will (B)never be moved;
    (C)he will be remembered forever.
He is not (D)afraid of bad news;
    his (E)heart is firm, (F)trusting in the Lord.
His heart is steady;[a] he will not be afraid,
    until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
He has (G)distributed freely; he has given to the poor;
    his righteousness endures forever;
    his (H)horn is exalted in honor.
