Musar for Proverbs 14:34

צְדָקָ֥ה תְרֽוֹמֵֽם־גּ֑וֹי וְחֶ֖סֶד לְאֻמִּ֣ים חַטָּֽאת׃

Righteousness exalteth a nation; But sin is a reproach to any people.

Orchot Tzadikim

Now, hearken to the importance of generosity and of the men who give freely to the poor, as it is written, "Righteousness will exalt a people" (Prov. 14:34). Come and see, how great is the power of charity, for it is described as being at the right hand of the Holy One, Blessed be He, as it is said, "Thy right hand is full of righteousness" (Ps. 48:11) (Midrash to Prov. 14).
