Their descendants shall be known and honored among the nations; all shall realize that they are a people God has blessed.

10 Let me tell you how happy God has made me! For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and draped about me the robe of righteousness. I am like a bridegroom in his wedding suit or a bride with her jewels. 11 The Lord will show the nations of the world his justice; all will praise him. His righteousness shall be like a budding tree, or like a garden in early spring, full of young plants springing up everywhere.

Their descendants(A) will be known among the nations
    and their offspring among the peoples.
All who see them will acknowledge
    that they are a people the Lord has blessed.”(B)

10 I delight greatly in the Lord;
    my soul rejoices(C) in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
    and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,(D)
as a bridegroom adorns his head(E) like a priest,
    and as a bride(F) adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up
    and a garden(G) causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness(H)
    and praise spring up before all nations.
