Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.

It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.

His heart is established. He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries.

9 Ɔto nʼakyɛdeɛ pete aman so ma ahiafoɔ, ne tenenee wɔ hɔ daa; wɔbɛkae wɔn daa na wɔahyɛ wɔn animuonyam.

He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.

10 Omumuyɛfoɔ bɛhunu ama ayɛ no yea, ɔbɛtwere ne se na wafɔn; omumuyɛfoɔ tirimpɔ bɛyɛ kwa.

The wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
