¹⁰ Unfailing love and truth have met together.
    Righteousness and peace have kissed!

¹⁴ Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne.
    Unfailing love and truth walk before you as attendants.

¹⁶ Justice will rule in the wilderness
    and righteousness in the fertile field.
¹⁷ And this righteousness will bring peace.
    Yes, it will bring quietness and confidence forever.
¹⁸ My people will live in safety, quietly at home.
    They will be at rest.

³ May the mountains yield prosperity for all,
    and may the hills be fruitful.

⁵ “For the time is coming,”
    says the Lord,
“when I will raise up a righteous descendant^[a]
    from King David’s line.
He will be a King who rules with wisdom.
    He will do what is just and right throughout the land.
⁶ And this will be his name:
    ‘The Lord Is Our Righteousness.’^[b]
In that day Judah will be saved,
    and Israel will live in safety.

⁵ For the Lord is good.
    His unfailing love continues forever,
    and his faithfulness continues to each generation.

“Yahweh!^[a] The Lord!
    The God of compassion and mercy!
I am slow to anger
    and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.
⁷ I lavish unfailing love to a thousand generations.^[b]
    I forgive iniquity, rebellion, and sin.
But I do not excuse the guilty.
    I lay the sins of the parents upon their children and grandchildren;
the entire family is affected—
    even children in the third and fourth generations.”
