For I, Yahweh, love justice,
    hate robbery and[a] injustice,
and I will faithfully[b] give their reward,
    and I will make[c] an everlasting covenant with[d] them.
And their descendants[e] will be known among the nations,
    and their offspring in the midst of the peoples.
All those who see them shall recognize them,
    that they are descendants[f] whom Yahweh has blessed.
10 I will rejoice greatly in Yahweh;
    my being shall shout in exultation in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation,
    he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom adorns himself with a head wrap like a priest,
    and as a bride adorns herself with her jewelry.
