May all who have despised you and slandered you be cursed! Cursed are all who hate you and all who speak a harsh word against you. But all who revere you will be blessed for eternity.

Acknowledge the Lord in goodness, and praise the Lord of ages! Then your dwelling will be rebuilt for you with joy. He will bring joy to all the captives among you, and he will love for all eternity all those who have been subjugated.

A bright light will shine forth into the farthest corners of the earth. Many nations will come to you from afar, and inhabitants from all the ends of the earth will come to your holy name. They will bear gifts in their hands for the king of heaven. Generation after generation will give joyful worship to you and honor your name forever and always.

May all who have despised you and slandered you be cursed! Cursed are all who hate you and all who speak a harsh word against you. But all who revere you will be blessed for eternity.

Rejoice then and be glad for the children of the righteous, for all will be gathered together and praise the eternal Lord.
14
Favored by God are those who love you, favored are those who rejoice when you are at peace, and favored are all the people who grieve when you are afflicted, for they will rejoice over you and will see all your joy forever.
