14 Shout for joy, O daughter of Zion!
    Cry aloud, O Israel!
Rejoice and be jubilant with all your heart,
    O daughter of Jerusalem!
15 Yahweh has annulled your judgments;
    he has turned away your enemies.
The king of Israel, Yahweh, is in your midst;
    you shall no longer fear misfortune.
16 On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem,
    “Fear not, O Zion;
    your hands shall not hang limp.
17 Yahweh your God is in your midst;
    a mighty warrior who saves.
He shall rejoice over you with joy;
    he renews[a] you in his love;
    he will exult over you with singing.
