Psalms 112:3
1 Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.
2 His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.
4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright— for the gracious, compassionate, and righteous.
5 It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
