9Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him,

so our land will be filled with his glory.

10Unfailing love and truth have met together.

Righteousness and peace have kissed!

11Truth springs up from the earth,

and righteousness smiles down from heaven.

12Yes, the Lord pours down his blessings.

Our land will yield its bountiful harvest.

13Righteousness goes as a herald before him,

preparing the way for his steps.
