God, Singing

The Lord has removed the judgment against you,

he has turned away your enemies;

The King of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst,

you have no further misfortune to fear.

 

On that day, it shall be said to Jerusalem:

Do not fear, Zion,

do not be discouraged!

The Lord, your God, is in your midst,

a mighty savior,

Who will rejoice over you with gladness,

and renew you in his love,

Who will sing joyfully because of you,

as on festival days.      

                       Zephaniah 3:15-18a
