Psalms 112:6
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.
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.
8 His heart is assured; he does not fear, until he looks in triumph on his foes.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
