Yahweh, your God, is in the midst of you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will rest in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.
and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me. Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
Bring my soul out of prison, That I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, For you will be good to me.
Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.
Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.
Sing, daughter of Zion! Shout, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, daughter of Jerusalem.
Rejoice you with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her; that you may suck and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that you may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
With me are riches, honor, Enduring wealth, and prosperity.
Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.
Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!
For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
