Righteousness is a path of blessing, prosperity, and happiness; this is what Psalm 112 explains to us. We live in a universe in perpetual harmony (perfect balance), progressive, expansive, in continuous development; and the spiritual gift of righteousness (the golden rule) is consistent with the laws and the structure that define our universe, the creation of God: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you", Matthew 7:12.
Righteous people are assertive (precise and accurate) in their judgments and actions that is why with the righteous life comes prosperity and wealth:
"Wealth and riches are in their houses,
and their righteousness endures forever.
Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.
Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,
who conduct their affairs with justice.", Psalm 112:3-5.
Righteous men are benefactors of society and their names are remembered, they not only benefit themselves but also take into account others, those who due to their state of defenselessness cannot return the benefit received, this is why the righteous are sometimes called immortal:
"Surely the righteous will never be shaken:
they will be remembered forever", Psalm 112:6.
People who live righteously are also secure people (Matthew 5:5), they know where they are going, they have constancy, and they do not depend on luck. Stability of mind is also an added benefit, they do not live with a feeling of diffuse fear and they do not distrust people, true love casts out fear, God is love without passion (1 John 4:18):
"They will have no fear of bad news;
their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear;
in the end they will look in triumph on their foes." Psalm 112:7-8.
