Taketh

Let those who want my vindication
shout for joy and be glad;
let them continually say,
“The Lord be exalted.
He takes pleasure in His servant’s well-being.”

For Yahweh takes pleasure in His people;
He adorns the humble with salvation.

Those with twisted minds are detestable to the Lord,
but those with blameless conduct are His delight.

Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting,
but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised.

You will no longer be called Deserted,
and your land will not be called Desolate;
instead, you will be called My Delight is in Her,
and your land Married;

for the Lord delights in you,
and your land will be married.

Yahweh your God is among you,
a warrior who saves.
He will rejoice over you with gladness.
He will bring you quietness with His love.
He will delight in you with shouts of joy.”

At that time those who feared the Lord spoke to one another. The Lord took notice and listened. So a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who feared Yahweh and had high regard for His name.

Instead, it should consist of what is inside the heart with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very valuable in God’s eyes.

His mercy is from generation to generation
on those who fear Him.
