an entire generation of godly people will be blessed.

and their good deeds will last forever.

They are generous, compassionate, and righteous.

and conduct their business fairly.

Those who are righteous will be long remembered.

they confidently trust the LORD to care for them.

Psa 112:8They are confident and fearless
and can face their foes triumphantly.

They will grind their teeth in anger;
they will slink away, their hopes thwarted.
