And sustain me with a willing spirit.

O God of hosts, restore us
And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness,

To grant those who mourn in Zion,
Giving them a garland instead of ashes,
The oil of gladness instead of mourning,
The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting.
So they will be called oaks of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.

And the voice of those who celebrate;
And I will multiply them and they will not be diminished;
I will also honor them and they will not be insignificant.

And the young men and the old, together,
For I will turn their mourning into joy
And will comfort them and give them joy for their sorrow.

And the valley of Achor as a door of hope.
And she will sing there as in the days of her youth,
As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.

Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy.

Make me to hear joy and gladness,
Let the bones which You have broken rejoice.

But I am afflicted and in pain;
May Your salvation, O God, set me securely on high.
