but knowledge enables the righteous to be delivered. - Instruct those who are rich in this world’s goods that they should not be proud, nor should they trust in the uncertainty of riches but rather in God who richly provides us with everything we need for our enjoyment.

he is a shield to those who trust in him. - You will again show us compassion
and wash away our guilt;
you will cast all our sins
into the depths of the sea. - The face of the Lord is turned against those who do evil,
to erase all memory of them from the earth. - The wealth of a rich man is his stronghold;
he regards it as a high wall that cannot be scaled. - Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
