Context of Psalms 112:6
4In the darkness a light shines for the godly, for each one who is merciful, compassionate, and just. 5It goes well for the one who generously lends money, and conducts his business honestly. For he will never be upended; others will always remember one who is just. 7He does not fear bad news. He is confident; he trusts in the Lord. 8His resolve is firm; he will not succumb to fear before he looks in triumph on his enemies.
