Shout for joy, daughter of Zion! ^(C1)Shout in triumph, Israel! Rejoice and triumph with all your heart, Daughter of Jerusalem!

The LORD has taken away ^(C1)His judgments against you, He has cleared away your enemies. The King of Israel, the LORD, is ^(C2)in your midst; You will no longer ^(C3)fear disaster.

^(C1)On that day it will be said to Jerusalem: "^(C2)Do not be afraid, Zion; ^(C3)Do not let your hands fall limp.

-"The LORD your God is ^(C1)in your midst, A ^(F1)(C2)victorious warrior. He will ^(C3)rejoice over you with joy, He will ^(F2)be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.

-"I will gather those who are ^(C1)worried about the appointed feasts— They ^(F1)came from you, Zion; The disgrace of exile is a burden on ^(F2)them.

-"Behold, I am going to deal at that time With all your ^(C1)oppressors; I will save ^(C2)those who limp And gather the scattered, And I will turn their ^(C3)shame into ^(C4)praise and fame In all the earth.

-"At that time I will ^(C1)bring you in, Even at the time when I gather you together; Indeed, I will make you ^(C2)famous and praiseworthy Among all the peoples of the earth, When I ^(C3)restore your fortunes before your eyes," Says the LORD.
