Good will come to him who is fears the Lord and generous

Psalm 112:1-10
Blessed is the man 1)who fears the Lord, 2)who finds great delight in his commands.
Good will come to him 3)who is generous and lends freely.
Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man. Surely righteous man will be remembered forever.
He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. His heart is secure, he will have no fear; in the end he will look in triumph on his foes.
The wicked man will see and be vexed, he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.
Why?
Righteous man is he who fears the Lord and find great delight in his commands.
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who finds great delight in God's commands, and who is generous and lends freely.
The wicked man will see and be vexed and the longing of the wicked will come to nothing. I don't have to anger about the wicked man, the Lord is justice and he has sovereignty over the world.
Happy are those who obey God and care for others. Their reward is sure. They can withstand life's knocks, secure and unafraid.
How?
I have no fear of bad news, trusting in the Lord. My heart is secure, no fear, I will look in triumph on my foes.
