Psalms 112:8
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.
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.
10 The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
