14 Sing for joy, Daughter Zion;
shout loudly, Israel!
Be glad and celebrate with all your heart,
Daughter Jerusalem!
15 The Lord has removed your punishment;
he has turned back your enemy.
The King of Israel, the Lord, is among you;
you need no longer fear harm.
16 On that day it will be said to Jerusalem:
“Do not fear;
Zion, do not let your hands grow weak.(A)
17 The Lord your God is among you,
a warrior(B) who saves.
He will rejoice over you(C) with gladness.
He will be quiet[a] in his love.
He will delight in you with singing.”(D)
