He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted in honor.

The righteous man's reputation is settled and firm; his foundation cannot be moved. Though enemies labor to sully his name, his integrity shall clear itself and endure in everlasting remembrance, while wicked men's lifted horns shall all be cut off.
