Joy in God’s Faithfulness

14 (A)Sing, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem!
15 The Lord has taken away your judgments,
He has cast out your enemy.
(B)The King of Israel, the Lord, (C)is in your midst;
You shall [a]see disaster no more.

16 In that day (D)it shall be said to Jerusalem:
“Do not fear;
Zion, (E)let not your hands be weak.
17 The Lord your God (F)in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
(G)He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”
