Psalms 112:5

GenerosityMoney and wealthJustice

3 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.

It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice.

6 Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous man will be remembered forever.

7 He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
