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.
