⁸ I will listen to what God the Lord says;
    he promises peace^(A) to his people, his faithful servants—
    but let them not turn to folly.^(B)
9 Surely his salvation^(C) is near those who fear him,
    that his glory^(D) may dwell in our land.

¹⁰ Love and faithfulness^(E) meet together;
    righteousness^(F) and peace kiss each other.
¹¹ Faithfulness springs forth from the earth,
    and righteousness^(G) looks down from heaven.
¹² The Lord will indeed give what is good,^(H)
    and our land will yield^(I) its harvest.
¹³ Righteousness goes before him
    and prepares the way for his steps.
