3  to grant to those who mourn in Zion—

to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,

the ^doil of gladness instead of mourning,

the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;

that they may be called oaks of righteousness,

the ^eplanting of the Lord, that he may be glorified.¹

9  You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;

therefore God, your God, has anointed you

with the ^ooil of gladness beyond your companions.”
