They are confident and will not be afraid;
    they will look down on their enemies.
They give freely to the poor.
    The things they do are right and will continue forever.

    they will grind their teeth in anger and then disappear.
    The wishes of the wicked will come to nothing.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 112:9 Horn here symbolizes dignity.

His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
