The just man is a light in darkness to the upright.

1. Light shines through the darkness for the upright;
he is gracious and merciful and just.
Well for the man who is gracious and lends,
who conducts his affairs with justice.

The just man is a light in darkness to the upright.

2. He shall never be moved;
the just one shall be everlasting remembrance.
An evil report he shall not fear;
his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

The just man is a light in darkness to the upright.

3. His heart is steadfast, he shall not fear.
Lavishly he gives to the poor;
His justice shall endure forever;
his horn shall be exalted in glory.
