Make room for me that I may live here.’

“You made their sons numerous as the stars of heaven,
And You brought them into the land
Which You had told their fathers to enter and possess.

I will change their glory into shame.

“Many nations will join themselves to the Lord in that day and will become My people. Then I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you.

For I have redeemed them;
And they will be as numerous as they

For although You were angry with me,
Your anger is turned away,
And You comfort me.

This is the Lord for whom we have waited;

Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”

The majesty of our God.

Break forth into joyful shouting and cry aloud, you who have not travailed;
For the sons of the desolate one will be more numerous
Than the sons of the married woman,” says the Lord.

And be led forth with peace;
The mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you,
And all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

And instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion.
Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land,

Everlasting joy will be theirs.

“But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create;
For behold, I create Jerusalem for rejoicing
And her people for gladness.

You have put gladness in my heart,
More than when their grain and new wine abound.

Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting.

For thus says the Lord,
“Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob,
And shout among the

chief of the nations;

Proclaim, give praise and say,
‘O Lord, save Your people,
The remnant of Israel.’

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!

and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory,

I—to the Lord, I will sing,

I will sing praise to the Lord, the God of Israel.

I rejoice at Your word,
As one who finds great spoil.

But when someone stronger than he attacks him and overpowers him, he takes away from him all his armor on which he had relied and distributes his plunder.
