9Their descendants will be famous among the other nations. Everyone who sees them will know that the Lord has blessed them.’ 10I am very happy, because of what the Lord, my God, has done. I have so much joy! He has given salvation to me, like clothes that I can wear all the time. I have his righteousness as my coat! He makes me handsome, like a bridegroom who wears a priest's hat.
