⁸ He sets them among princes,
    even the princes of his own people!

⁷ He never takes his eyes off the innocent,
    but he sets them on thrones with kings
    and exalts them forever.

⁸     he humbled himself in obedience to God
    and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

⁹ Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
    and gave him the name above all other names,
¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
¹¹ and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord,
    to the glory of God the Father.

¹⁶ Your sons will become kings like their father.
    You will make them rulers over many lands.

¹³ Even those who lived among the sheepfolds found treasures—
    doves with wings of silver
    and feathers of gold.

“You are worthy to take the scroll
    and break its seals and open it.
For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed people for God
    from every tribe and language and people and nation.
¹⁰ And you have caused them to become
    a Kingdom of priests for our God.
    And they will reign^[a] on the earth.”
