Psalm 112:4

The Path Of The Righteous And The Path Of The Wicked

³
Wealth and riches are in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.
⁴ 
Light arises in the darkness for the upright;
He is gracious and compassionate and righteous (upright—in right standing with God).
⁵
It is well with the man who is gracious and lends;
He conducts his affairs with justice.
