8Zion is glad at the tidings, the towns of Judah rejoice because of your judgements, Lord.
9For you are most high over all the earth, greatly exalted above all gods.
10The Lord loves those who hate evil, he guards the lives of the faithful: from the hand of the wicked he saves them.
11Light arises for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.
12Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous: give thanks to his holy name.
