¹⁰ I will ^(A)rejoice greatly in the Lord,
My soul will exult in ^(B)my God;
For He has ^(C)clothed me with garments of salvation,
He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness,
As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland,
And ^(D)as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
¹¹ For as the ^(E)earth brings forth its sprouts,
And as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up,
So the Lord ^[a]God will ^(F)cause ^(G)righteousness and praise
To spring up before all the nations.

^12 (A)Sow with a view to righteousness,
Reap in accordance with ^[a]kindness;
^(B)Break up your fallow ground,
For it is time to ^(C)seek the Lord
Until He ^(D)comes to ^[b](E)rain righteousness on you.

²⁴ “But let ^(A)justice roll down like waters
And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
