(A)but you shall be called the priests of the Lord;
    they shall speak of you as the ministers of our God;
(B)you shall eat the wealth of the nations,
    and in their glory you shall boast.
(C)Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion;
    instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot;
therefore in their land they shall possess a double portion;
    they shall have everlasting joy.

(D)For I the Lord love justice;
    I hate robbery and wrong;[a]
(E)I will faithfully give them their recompense,
    (F)and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
Their offspring shall be known among the nations,
    and their descendants in the midst of the peoples;
all who see them shall acknowledge them,
    that they are an offspring the Lord has blessed.

10 (G)I will greatly rejoice in the Lord;
    my soul shall exult in my God,
(H)for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation;
    he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself (I)like a priest with a beautiful headdress,
    (J)and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
