Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 11:4

4. Riches profit not in the day of Wrath : but righteousness delivereth from death .

In the time of Gods Judgments, when he is executing Wrath and Vengeance upon Sinners.

Or, Mercy, as this word is oft rendred, or Charity to the poor, which is fitly opposed to Riches laid up in store.

It moveth God to deliver them oft times from temporal Calamities, and always from eternal Death, where such actions are done from a right Principle.
