8 The Lord says,“I love justice and I hate oppression and crime.I will faithfully reward my peopleAnd make an eternal covenant with them.
9 They will be famous among the nations;Everyone who sees them will knowThat they are a people whom I have blessed.”
10 Jerusalem rejoices because of what the Lord has done.She is like a bride dressed for her wedding.God has clothed her with salvation and victory.
11 As surely as seeds sprout and grow,The Sovereign Lord will save his people,And all the nations will praise him.
