“In the time of their visitation
They will shine forth.
They will run
Like sparks through the stubble.
They will govern nations.
They will rule over peoples.
The Lord will reign over them forever.
Those who trust in him
Will understand truth.
The faithful will abide
With him in love.
Because grace is upon his elect.
Mercy is upon his elect.
He watches over his elect.”
In some future time, there will be some kind of divine visitation (ἐν καιρῷ ἐπισκοπῆς αὐτῶν). At that time they will shine forth (ἀναλάμψουσι). They will run like fire sparks on dry stubble. They will govern nations and peoples (ἔθνη καὶ λαῶν). The Lord will have his kingdom reign forever (βασιλεύσει αὐτῶν Κύριος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας). Those who trust him will understand. The faithful believing ones will remain in love with him (οἱ πιστοὶ ἐν ἀγάπῃ). The Lord gives grace and mercy (χάρις καὶ ἔλεος), as he watches over his elect (τοῖς ἐκλεκτοῖς αὐτοῦ).
