    for his heart remains steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
Since his heart is tranquil, he will not be afraid,

    his righteousness will endure forever,
    and his horn[a] will be exalted in glory.

  1. Psalm 112:9 As God’s name is held in holy awe (see Ps 111:9), so the righteous will be held in honor. Paul uses this verse to support the principle that “if you sow generously, you will reap generously as well” (2 Cor 9:6, 9). Horn: here symbolizes dignity.
