8 I want to hear what God the Lord says,because he promises peace to his people, to his godly ones.But they must not go back to their stupidity.
9 Indeed, his salvation is near those who fear him,and ⌊his⌋ glory will remain in our land.
10 Mercy and truth have met.Righteousness and peace have kissed.
11 Truth sprouts from the ground,and righteousness looks down from heaven.
12 The Lord will certainly give us what is good,and our land will produce crops.
13 Righteousness will go ahead of himand make a path for his steps.
