"Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be happy for her, all you who love her; rejoice with her in gladness, all you who mourn over her,

Be strong, be courageous on behalf of our people and for the cities of our God, and may the LORD do what he thinks is best."

Be strong, be courageous on behalf of our people and for the cities of our God, and may the LORD do what he thinks is best."
