| 8 | Lift her up and she shall exalt thee: she will honor thee when thou shalt embrace her. | Prize her highly, and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her. | Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you. | |
| 9 | She will give to thy head a garland of grace: a crown of glory she will deliver thee. | She will place on your head a graceful garland; she will bestow on you a beautiful crown.” | She will give you a garland to grace your head and present you with a glorious crown.” | |
