“I, the Lord, love justice.
    I hate ·stealing [robbery] and ·everything that is wrong [wrongdoing].
·I will be fair and give my people what they should have [L I will reward/give wages in truth/faithfulness],
    and I will make an ·agreement [covenant; treaty] with them that will continue forever.
·Everyone in all nations will know the children of my people [L Their descendants/seed will be known among the nations/Gentiles],
    and their ·children [offspring] will be known among the ·nations [peoples].
Anyone who sees them will know
    that they are ·people [descendants; seed] the Lord has blessed.”

10 I will ·rejoice [delight] greatly in the Lord;
    ·all that I am [my soul] ·rejoices [exults] in my God.
He has covered me with ·clothes [garments] of salvation
    and wrapped me with a ·coat [robe] of ·goodness [righteousness],
like a bridegroom ·dressed for his wedding [or who adorns himself with a headdress like a priest],
    like a bride ·dressed in [adorns herself with] jewels.
