But remember the LORD your God,
for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth,
and so confirms his covenant,
which he swore to your forefathers,
as it is today.
The LORD sends poverty and wealth;
he humbles and he exalts.
Wealth and honor come from you;
you are the ruler of all things.
In your hands are strength and power
to exalt and give strength to all.
Fear the Lord you his Saints,
for those who fear him lack nothing.
Better the little that the righteous have
than the wealth of many wicked.
Honor the LORD with your wealth,
with the first-fruits of all your crops;
then your barns will be filled to overflowing,
and your vats will brim over with new wine.
Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath,
but righteousness delivers from death.
