“Sing, O daughter of Zion;
Shout, O Israel;
Be glad and rejoice with all the heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem.
Jehovah hath taken away thy judgments,
He hath cast out thine enemy:
The King of Israel, even Jehovah, is in the midst of
thee;
Thou shalt not fear evil any more.
In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou
not;
O Zion, let not thy hands be slack.
Jehovah thy God is in the midst of thee,
A Mighty One who will save;
He will rejoice over thee with joy;
He will rest in His love;
He will joy over thee with singing.”
Zephaniah 3:14-17
