Let all nations call him blessed.

And invoke the God of Israel,
But not in truth (sincerity) nor in righteousness [with moral and spiritual integrity].

The nations will see your righteousness and vindication [by God],
And all kings [will see] your glory;
And you will be called by a new name
Which the mouth of the Lord will designate.
