All the kingdoms of the earth the Lord God of heaven has given me. And He has (D)commanded me to build Him a [a]house at Jerusalem which is in Judah. 3 Who is among you of all His people? May his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord God of Israel (E)(He is God), which is in Jerusalem. 4 And whoever is left in any place where he dwells, let the men of his place help him with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, besides the freewill offerings for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.

37 Behold, I will (A)gather them out of all countries where I have driven them in My anger, in My fury, and in great wrath; I will bring them back to this place, and I will cause them (B)to dwell safely. 38 They shall be (C)My people, and I will be their God; 39 then I will (D)give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them. 40 And (E)I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but (F)I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me. 41 Yes, (G)I will rejoice over them to do them good, and (H)I will [a]assuredly plant them in this land, with all My heart and with all My soul.’

A Joyful Return to Zion
A Song of Ascents.
126 When (A)the Lord brought back [a]the captivity of Zion,
(B)We were like those who dream.
2 Then (C)our mouth was filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the [b]nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
3 The Lord has done great things for us,
And we are glad.
4 Bring back our captivity, O Lord,
As the streams in the South.
