Make us glad as many days as you humbled us, for as many years as we have seen trouble.
Sing praise to the Lord, you faithful; give thanks to his holy memory.
On that day, you will say: I give you thanks, O Lord; though you have been angry with me, your anger has abated, and you have consoled me.
to place on those who mourn in Zion a diadem instead of ashes, To give them oil of gladness instead of mourning, a glorious mantle instead of a faint spirit. They will be called oaks of justice, the planting of the Lord to show his glory.
Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Amen, amen, I say to you, you will weep and mourn, while the world rejoices; you will grieve, but your grief will become joy.
