Psalms 112:7
5 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.
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.
9 He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
