Psa 112:1 Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, Who delights greatly in His commandments. 2 His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches will be in his house, And his righteousness endures forever. 4 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. 5 A good man deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs with discretion. 6 Surely he will never be shaken; The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance. 7 He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. 8 His heart is established; He will not be afraid, Until he sees his desire upon his enemies. 9 He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever; His horn will be exalted with honor.

You deal graciously and lend (contrary to worldly wisdom)!
You guide your affairs with discretion and wisdom. (you will amaze others)
You will never be shaken (on Christ the solid Rock I stand)
You will always remember and be remembered for this time in your life. Generations will look back and remember your faith and faithfulness in this season. Don’t give up. Don’t give in to fear.
You are not afraid of evil tidings. Maybe stop listening to it too!
Your heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
Your heart is established, firm, like a rock.
You will not be afraid. No more fear!
Continue to disperse abroad, give to the poor. widows and orphans are in danger too!
Your righteousness (in Him) endures forever, your strength will be exalted with honor.
