¹¹ Many nations will come from afar to the name of the Lord God,
    bearing gifts in their hands, gifts for the King of heaven.
Generations of generations will give you joyful praise.
¹² Cursed are all who hate you;
    blessed for ever will be all who love you.
¹³ Rejoice and be glad for the sons of the righteous;
    for they will be gathered together,
    and will praise the Lord of the righteous.
¹⁴ How blessed are those who love you!
    They will rejoice in your peace.
Blessed are those who grieved over all your afflictions;
    for they will rejoice for you upon seeing all your glory,
    and they will be made glad for ever.
¹⁵ Let my soul praise God the great King.
¹⁶ For Jerusalem will be built with sapphires and emeralds,
    her^[a] walls with precious stones,
    and her towers and battlements with pure gold.
¹⁷ The streets of Jerusalem will be paved^[b] with beryl and ruby and stones of Ophir;
¹⁸     all her lanes will cry ‘Hallelujah!’ and will give praise,
    saying, ‘Blessed is God, who has exalted you for ever.’”
