Psalms 112:9

GenerosityPoverty and the vulnerableJustice

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.

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.
