Verse 4 is found in chapter 112 of Psalms. Psalm 112, also acrostic, describes the characteristics of the righteous person who fears the Lord. His stability is not limited to economic prosperity: it includes generosity, justice, compassion, and confidence in the face of bad news. The righteous person’s wealth is presented in connection with a willingness to share, in contrast to the wicked person’s desire to accumulate. The psalm ends by showing that the inner orientation of both groups produces opposite destinies.

Den Frommen geht das Licht auf in der Finsternis von dem Gnädigen, Barmherzigen und Gerechten.
Resplandeció en las tinieblas luz a los rectos: Es clemente, y misericordioso, y justo.
En la oscuridad amanece luz para los rectos; él es clemente, compasivo y justo.
La lumière se lève dans les ténèbres pour les hommes droits, Pour celui qui est miséricordieux, compatissant et juste.
La luce si leva nelle tenebre a quelli che son diritti. Un tale uomo è pietoso, misericordioso, e giusto.
Aos justos nasce luz nas trevas; ele é piedoso, misericordioso e justo.
正直人在黑暗中有光向他照耀, 他有恩惠,有憐憫,有公義。
