8. I, the Lord, love justice.I hate robbery and wrongdoing.I will faithfully reward my people’s work.I will make an everlasting promise to them.
9. Then their offspring will be known among the nationsand their descendants among the people.Everyone who sees them will recognizethat they are the descendants whom the Lord has blessed.
10. I will find joy in the Lord.I will delight in my God.He has dressed me in the clothes of salvation.He has wrapped me in the robe of righteousnesslike a bridegroom with a priest’s turban,like a bride with her jewels.
11. Like the ground that brings forth its cropsand like a garden that makes the seed in it grow,so the Almighty Lord will make righteousness and praisespring up in front of all nations.
