15. But the righteous live for evermore,
their reward also is with the Lord,
and the care of them is with the most High.
16. Therefore shall they receive a glorious kingdom,
and a beautiful crown from the Lord's hand:
for with his right hand shall he cover them,
and with his arm shall he protect them.
