“Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;^(A)
    a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
⁹ You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
    therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions^(B)
    by anointing you with the oil^(C) of joy.”^[a](D)

⁶ Who, being in very nature^[a] God,^(B)
    did not consider equality with God^(C) something to be used to his own advantage;
⁷ rather, he made himself nothing^(D)
    by taking the very nature^[b] of a servant,^(E)
    being made in human likeness.^(F)
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death^(G)—
        even death on a cross!^(H)

⁹ Therefore God exalted him^(I) to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,^(J)
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,^(K)
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,^(L)
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,^(M)
    to the glory of God the Father.
