"Nowtherefore arise,O LORDGod,to Your restingplace,You and the arkof Your might;let Your priests,O LORDGod,be clothedwith salvationand let Your godlyonesrejoicein whatis good.
Then you will sayon that day,"I will givethanksto You, O LORD;For although You were angrywith me, Your angeris turnedaway,And You comfortme.
"Behold,Godis my salvation,I will trustand not be afraid;For the LORDGODis my strengthand song,And He has becomemy salvation."
And it will be saidin that day,"Behold,thisis our Godfor whom we have waitedthat He might saveus. Thisis the LORDfor whom we have waited;Let us rejoiceand be gladin His salvation."

"You will winnowthem, and the windwill carrythem away, And the stormwill scatterthem; But you will rejoicein the LORD,You will gloryin the HolyOneof Israel.
Shoutfor joy,O heavens,for the LORDhas done[it]! Shoutjoyfully,you lowerpartsof the earth;Breakforthinto a shoutof joy,you mountains,O forest,and everytreein it; For the LORDhas redeemedJacobAnd in IsraelHe showsforth His glory.
Shoutfor joy,O heavens!And rejoice,O earth!Breakforthinto joyfulshouting,O mountains!For the LORDhas comfortedHis peopleAnd will havecompassionon His afflicted.

I will rejoicegreatlyin the LORD,My soulwill exultin my God;For He has clothedme with garmentsof salvation,He has wrappedme with a robeof righteousness,As a bridegroomdeckshimself with a garland,And as a brideadornsherself with her jewels.
You shall multiplythe nation,You shall increasetheir gladness;They will be gladin Your presenceAs with the gladnessof harvest,As men rejoicewhen they dividethe spoil.
