CHAPTER 5
put on forever the splendor of glory from God:a
place on your head the diadem
of the glory of the Eternal One.b
the peace of justice, the glory of God’s worship.c
look to the east and see your children
Gathered from east to west
at the word of the Holy One,
rejoicing that they are remembered by God.
but God will bring them back to you
carried high in glory as on royal thrones.d
that every lofty mountain
and the age-old hills be made low,
That the valleys be filled to make level ground,
that Israel may advance securely in the glory of God.e
have overshadowed Israel at God’s command;f
by the light of his glory,
with the mercy and justice that are his.
