2 His zera shall be gibbor ba'aretz; the dor (generation) of the Yesharim (upright ones) shall be blessed.

3 Wealth and osher (riches) shall be in his bais; and his tzedakah endureth forever.

4 Unto the Yesharim (upright ones) there ariseth ohr in the choshech; he is channun, and rachum, and tzaddik.

5 A tov ish is generous, and lendeth; he will guide his affairs with mishpat.

6 Surely he shall never falter; the tzaddik shall be in remembrance olam (forever).

7 He shall not be afraid of mishmu'ah ra'ah (news of misfortune, evil tidings); his lev is nachon (steadfast), trusting in Hashem.

8 His lev is samuch (sustained), he shall not be afraid, until he look in triumph upon his foes.

9 He hath contributed freely, he hath given to the evyonim (needy); his tzedakah endureth forever; his keren shall be lifted up in kavod.

10 The rasha shall see it, and be incensed; he shall gnash his teeth, and waste away; the ta'avot resha'im (desire of the wicked ones) shall come to nothing.
