¹⁰ I delight greatly in the Lord;
    my soul rejoices^(A) in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
    and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,^(B)
as a bridegroom adorns his head^(C) like a priest,
    and as a bride^(D) adorns herself with her jewels.

¹¹ For as the soil makes the sprout come up
    and a garden^(A) causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness^(B)
    and praise spring up before all nations.

¹⁰ Listen, daughter,^(A) and pay careful attention:^(B)
    Forget your people^(C) and your father’s house.
¹¹ Let the king be enthralled by your beauty;^(D)
    honor^(E) him, for he is your lord.^(F)
12 The city of Tyre^(G) will come with a gift,^[a](H)
    people of wealth will seek your favor.
¹³ All glorious^(I) is the princess within her chamber;
    her gown is interwoven with gold.^(J)
14 In embroidered garments^(K) she is led to the king;^(L)
    her virgin companions^(M) follow her—
    those brought to be with her.
¹⁵ Led in with joy and gladness,^(N)
    they enter the palace of the king.

¹⁶ Your sons will take the place of your fathers;
    you will make them princes^(O) throughout the land.

¹⁷ I will perpetuate your memory through all generations;^(P)
    therefore the nations will praise you^(Q) for ever and ever.^(R)

“My soul glorifies the Lord^(B)
47     and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,^(C)
48 for he has been mindful
    of the humble state of his servant.^(D)
From now on all generations will call me blessed,^(E)
49     for the Mighty One has done great things^(F) for me—
    holy is his name.^(G)
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
    from generation to generation.^(H)
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;^(I)
    he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.^(J)
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones
    but has lifted up the humble.^(K)
53 He has filled the hungry with good things^(L)
    but has sent the rich away empty.
⁵⁴ He has helped his servant Israel,
    remembering to be merciful^(M)
55 to Abraham and his descendants^(N) forever,
    just as he promised our ancestors.”
