Zephaniah 3:14-20 - A Song Of Joy

¹⁴ Shout for joy, O daughter of Zion! Shout (and sing) in triumph, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem! ¹⁵ Jehovah has removed his judgments against you. He has turned aside your enemies. The King of Israel, Jehovah, is in your midst! You will fear calamity no more. ¹⁶ Jerusalem will be told in that day: Do not be afraid, O Zion! Do not loose courage. ¹⁷ Jehovah your God is with you! He is a mighty one. He will exult over you with joy. He will refresh you with his love. He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.

¹⁸ I will gather those who grieve about the appointed feasts. They came from Jerusalem. The reproach of exile is a burden to them. ¹⁹ I will deal at that time with all your oppressors. I will save the lame and gather the outcast. I will turn their shame into praise and renown in all the earth. ²⁰ At that time I will bring you in! At that time I will gather you together. I will give you a name (honor) and praise among all the peoples of the earth! This will happen when I gather back your captive ones before your very eyes, declares Jehovah.
