14 Hurray! It’s time to sing, faithful daughter of Zion!
    It’s time to shout out loud, Israel!
Be happy and celebrate with all your being,
    faithful children of Jerusalem!
15 The Eternal has cancelled His judgments against you.
    He changed the course of your enemies.
The True King of Israel, the Eternal One, is standing right here among you;
    you have no reason to be afraid ever again.
16 On that day people will say to the faithful in Jerusalem,
    “Do not be afraid, Zion;
Hold your head and hands high,
    and take courage.”
17 The Eternal your God is standing right here among you,
    and He is the champion who will rescue you.
He will joyfully celebrate over you;
    He will rest in His love for you; He will joyfully sing because of you like a new husband.
