Zephaniah 3:14-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ Cry out with joy, daughter of Zion;
    shout aloud, O Israel.
Rejoice and exult with all your heart,
    O daughter, Jerusalem.
¹⁵ The Lord has canceled the punishments against you;
    he has turned away your enemies.
The king of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst;
    you need never again fear any harm.
¹⁶ On that day it will be said to Jerusalem:
    Fear not, O Zion;
    do not let your hands grow weak.
¹⁷ The Lord, your God, is in your midst,
    a warrior and a savior.
He will rejoice over you with gladness
    and renew you through his love.
He will exult over you with shouts of joy
¹⁸     as on a day of festival.
I will remove your misfortune
    so that you no longer will need to endure reproach.
