Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
Your people will all be righteous and good: they will possess the land forever, like a tree that I have planted, the work of my own hands, so that I may be honored and praised.
God is promising that His people will all be made righteous and will live in His promised land forever, bringing Him glory.
