15  I will abundantly ^xbless her provisions;

I will ^ysatisfy her poor with bread.

16  Her ^zpriests I will clothe with salvation,

and her ^zsaints will shout for joy.

17  There I will make ^aa horn to sprout for David;

I have prepared ^ba lamp for ^cmy anointed.

18  His enemies I will ^dclothe with shame,
