| 4Light arises in the darkness for the upright; He is gracious and compassionate and righteous. | 4A light shines in the darkness for the upright, for the one who is gracious, compassionate, and just. |
| 5It is well with the man who is gracious and lends; He will maintain his cause in judgment. | 5It is good for the person who lends generously, conducting his affairs with fairness. |
| 6For he will never be shaken; The righteous will be remembered forever. | 6He will never be shaken; the one who is just will always be remembered. |
| 7He will not fear evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. | 7He need not fear a bad report, for his heart is unshaken, since he trusts in the LORD. |
