Songs of Praise
In that day you will say: “I will praise you, Lord. Although you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you have comforted me.
-
Comfort for God’s People
Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.
-
Shout for joy, you heavens; rejoice, you earth; burst into song, you mountains! For the Lord comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones.
-
The Lord will surely comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; he will make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the garden of the Lord. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the sound of singing.
-
“I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you that you fear mere mortals, human beings who are but grass,
-
These double calamities have come upon you— who can comfort you?— ruin and destruction, famine and sword— who can console you?
-
Burst into songs of joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem, for the Lord has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
-
“Afflicted city, lashed by storms and not comforted, I will rebuild you with stones of turquoise, your foundations with lapis lazuli.
-
Comfort for the Contrite
And it will be said: “Build up, build up, prepare the road! Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people.”
-
I have seen their ways, but I will heal them; I will guide them and restore comfort to Israel’s mourners,
-
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
-
For you will nurse and be satisfied at her comforting breasts; you will drink deeply and delight in her overflowing abundance.”
-
As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.”
