English Standard Version

Israel's Joy and Restoration

¹⁴^(A)Sing aloud, O daughter of Zion;
    shout, O Israel!
Rejoice and exult with all your heart,
    O daughter of Jerusalem!
¹⁵The Lord has taken away the judgments against you;
    he has cleared away your enemies.
^(B)The King of Israel, ^(C)the Lord, is in your midst;
    you shall never again fear evil.
¹⁶^(D)On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:
“Fear not, O Zion;
    ^(E)let not your hands grow weak.
¹⁷^(F)The Lord your God is in your midst,
    ^(G)a mighty one who will save;
^(H)he will rejoice over you with gladness;
    he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.
¹⁸I will gather those of you who mourn ^(I)for the festival,
    so that you will no longer suffer reproach.^[a]
¹⁹Behold, at that time ^(J)I will deal
    with all your oppressors.
And ^(K)I will save the lame
    and gather the outcast,
and I will change ^(L)their shame into ^(M)praise
    and renown in all the earth.
²⁰^(N)At that time I will bring you in,
    at the time when I gather you together;
for I will make you renowned and praised
    among all the peoples of the earth,
^(O)when I restore your fortunes
    before your eyes,” says the Lord.
