Psalms 112:4 (KJ21)
Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness; he is gracious and full of compassion and righteous.

Psalms 112:4 (NIVUS)
Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man.

Psalms 112:4 (NLT)
When darkness overtakes the godly, light will come bursting in. They are generous, compassionate, and righteous.

Psalms 112:4 (NAS)
Light arises in the darkness for the upright; He is gracious and compassionate and righteous.

Do you think that you are living in obscurity and that you are hidden in darkness? Perhaps it appears as if no one notices you and that you are unimportant. That, however, is not true. The Lord has been holding you in a secret place until the proper and fitting time. Now He will cause you to arise and will let His light shine upon you. You will be illumined like a precious treasure that has been put on display, for you are upright, pleasing, and agreeable to the Lord your God.

Adonai esteems and approves of you and has set you on a straight, level path, where you no longer stumble in the dark. He leads and directs you into the light of day, a day of prosperity.

The Lord God is gracious and shows you favor. He will always have compassion and mercy for you. He loves you deeply and has tender affection for you, for you are His righteous child.
