You have turned my mourning into joy for me; You have removed my sackcloth, and have clothed me with gladness;

that my glory may sing praise to You, and I may not be pierced [with sorrow]. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

Be glad in the Lord, and exalt, you righteous; and shout for joy, all you that are upright in heart!

[A Psalm] of David. Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; praise becomes the upright.

Your statutes were my sons in the place of my sojourning.

I have inherited Your testimonies forever; for they are the joy of my heart.

And you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your sons, and your daughters, and your male servants and your female servants, and the Levite that is at your gates; because he has no portion or inheritance with you.

For by [the help of] the Lord they shall return, and come to Zion with joy and everlasting exaltation, for praise and joy shall come upon their head; pain, grief, and groaning have fled away.

Therefore thus says the Lord: Behold, My servants shall eat, but you shall hunger; behold, My servants shall drink, but you shall thirst; behold, My servants shall rejoice, but you shall be ashamed;

So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were sharing food with joy and simplicity of heart,

praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to the church daily those who were being saved.

And bringing them up into his house, he set a meal before them; and he rejoiced with his whole house, having believed in God.

"Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced judgment for you against her!"

After these things I heard as [it were] a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God!

And a second [one] said, "Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up forever and ever!"

Then a voice came from the throne, saying, "Praise our God, all His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!"

For they inherited not the land by their [own] sword, and their [own] arm did not deliver them; but Your right hand, and Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, because You were well pleased with them.

and bend [Your bow], and prosper, and reign, because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and Your right hand shall guide You wonderfully.

In God will we do valiantly; and He shall bring to nought them that harass us.

Yours is the mighty arm; let Your hand be strengthened, let Your right hand be exalted.

A Psalm of David. Sing to the Lord a new song; for the Lord has wrought wonderful works, His right hand, and His holy arm, have wrought salvation for Him.

Awake, awake, O Jerusalem, and put on the strength of your arm; awake as in the early time, as the ancient generation.

Are you not [the One] that dried the sea, the water, [even] the abundance of the deep; that made the depths of the sea a way of passage for the delivered and redeemed?
