“Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.”
They rise in the darkness as a light for the upright; they are gracious, merciful, and righteous. The righteous person becomes luminous ('rise in darkness as a light'), embodying grace and mercy. The character description ('gracious, merciful, and righteous') echoes the description of God in Psalm 111:4. This verse portrays the righteous person as reflecting divine character.
