Zion hears and rejoices,
    and the cities[a] of Judah exult
    because of your judgments, O Lord.
For you, O Lord, are the Most High over all the earth;
    you are exalted far above all gods.
10 [b]Let those who love the Lord hate evil,
    for he protects the souls of his faithful ones
    and rescues them from the hand of the wicked.
