Psalm 112:9

The Path Of The Righteous And The Path Of The Wicked

⁸ His heart is assured; he will not fear.
In the end he will look in triumph on his foes.
⁹ He distributes freely to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever.
His horn will be exalted in honor. ¹⁰ The wicked man will see it and be angry;
he will gnash his teeth in despair.
The desire of the wicked man will come to nothing.
