English Standard Version
17 (A)The Lord your God is in your midst,
(B)a mighty one who will save;
(C)he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.
18 I will gather those of you who mourn (D)for the festival,
so that you will no longer suffer reproach.[a]
19 Behold, at that time (E)I will deal
with all your oppressors.
And (F)I will save the lame
and gather the outcast,
and I will change (G)their shame into (H)praise
and renown in all the earth.
20 (I)At that time I will bring you in,
at the time when I gather you together;
for I will make you renowned and praised
among all the peoples of the earth,
(J)when I restore your fortunes
before your eyes,” says the Lord.

17 The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
18 I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.
19 Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.
20 At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the Lord.
