    for those who are merciful, kind, and fair.
⁵ It is good for people to be kind and generous
    and to be fair in business.
⁶ Such good people will never fall.
    They will always be remembered.
⁷ They will not be afraid of bad news.
    They are confident because they trust in the Lord.
⁸ They remain confident and without fear,
    so they defeat their enemies.
