Verse 5 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.

Wohl dem, der barmherzig ist und gerne leidet und richtet seine Sachen aus, daß er niemand Unrecht tue!

Heureux l'homme qui exerce la miséricorde et qui prête. Qui règle ses actions d'après la justice.
L’uomo da bene dona, e presta; E governa i fatti suoi con dirittura
O homem bom se compadece, e empresta; disporá as suas coisas com juízo;
施恩與人、借貸與人、秉公處事的人 必享美福,
