Thus the congregation of the people shall surround You; for their sakes, therefore, return on high.

Serve Jehovah with gladness; come before His presence with joyful voice.

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful unto Him, and bless His name.

Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of Jehovah, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and the herd. And their souls shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not languish any more at all.

Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

Arise, O Jehovah, forestall him; bow him down; deliver my soul from the wicked with Your sword,

Sing unto Him, make music unto Him; talk of all His wondrous works!

Is anyone among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms.
