Zephaniah 3:14-18

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴ Sing aloud, O daughter of Zion;
    shout, O Israel!
Rejoice and exult with all your heart,
    O daughter of Jerusalem!
¹⁵ The Lord has taken away the judgments against you,
    he has cast out your enemies.
The King of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst;
    you shall fear evil no more.
¹⁶ On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:
“Do not fear, O Zion;
    let not your hands grow weak.
¹⁷ The Lord your God is in your midst,
    a warrior who gives victory;
he will rejoice over you with gladness,
    he will renew you^[a] in his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing
¹⁸     as on a day of festival.^[b]
“I will remove disaster^[c] from you,
    so that you will not bear reproach for it.
