²¹ It pleased the Lord
    for the sake of his righteousness
    to make his law great and glorious.

⁶ Your throne, O God,^[a] will last for ever and ever;
    a sceptre of justice will be the sceptre of your kingdom.

⁷ You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
    therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
    by anointing you with the oil of joy.
