And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you.
Blessed (happy, fortunate) are all those who long for Him [since He will never fail them].
Hate evil and love good,
And establish justice in the [court of the city] gate.
Perhaps the Lord God of hosts
Will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph [that is, those who remain after God’s judgment].
For You are the glory of their strength [their proud adornment],
And by Your favor our horn is exalted.

And their kings will serve you;

The voice of weeping and the sound of crying.
