(C)“He makes his angels winds,
    and his ministers a flame of fire.”

    the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, (E)has anointed you
    with (F)the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”

10 And,

    and the heavens are the work of your hands;
11 they will perish, but you remain;
    they will all wear out like a garment,
12 like a robe you will roll them up,
    like a garment they will be changed.[a]
But you are (H)the same,
    and your years will have no end.”
