[verse 3] Riches and wealth his house shall fill,and fill it in great store:His righteousness continueth still,and lasts for evermore. [verse 4] Unto the man immaculatein darkness riseth light:Gracious he is, compassionate,in justice exquisite.
[verse 5] A good man still is mercifull,and freely lends and spares:And with discretion sutablehe guideth his affairs. [verse 6] He shall not (of a certainty)be mov'd though times prove bad:In everlasting memorythe righteous shall be had.
[verse 7] Ill tidings shall not trouble him,to make his heart affraid:His heart is fix'd, by faith withintrusting in God's good aid. [verse 8] His heart is well established,and fear he shall forgo,Untill he see accomplishedhis will upon his foe.
[verse 9] He hath dispers'd and fed the poor,his righteousness is prais'dFor ever: and for evermorehis horn with honour rais'd. [verse 10] Sinners shall grieve to see the sight,and fret and pine away:And his desire shall perish quite,the wicked mans, I say.
