(A)Shout in triumph, Israel!
Rejoice and triumph with all your heart,
Daughter of Jerusalem!

The King of Israel, the Lord, is (C)in your midst;
You will no longer (D)fear disaster.

(F)Do not be afraid, Zion;
(G)Do not let your hands fall limp.
17 The Lord your God is (H)in your midst,
A [a](I)victorious warrior.
He will (J)rejoice over you with joy,
He will [b]be quiet in His love,
He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.
