11 A bright light will shine to all the remotest parts of the earth;
    many nations will come to you from far away,
the inhabitants of the ends of the earth to your holy name,
    bearing gifts in their hands for the King of heaven.
Generation after generation will give joyful praise in you;
    the name of the chosen city will endure forever.(A)
12 Cursed are all who reject you
    and all who blaspheme you;
cursed are all who hate you[a]
    and all who speak a harsh word against you;
cursed are all who conquer you
    and pull down your walls,
all who overthrow your towers
    and set your homes on fire.
    But blessed forever will be all who build you up.[b](B)
13 Rejoice,[c] then, and exult over the children of the righteous,
    for they will all be gathered together
    and will bless the Lord of the ages.(C)
