Rejoice in the Lord, you who do right. Praise his holy name.
Sing praises to the Lord, you who belong to him; praise his holy name.
His anger lasts only a moment, but his kindness lasts for a lifetime. Crying may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
Good people, rejoice and be happy in the Lord. Sing all you whose hearts are right.
God has said from his Temple, “When I win, I will divide Shechem and measure off the Valley of Succoth.
Be full of joy in the Lord always. I will say again, be full of joy.
Our fathers on earth disciplined us for a short time in the way they thought was best. But God disciplines us to help us, so we can become holy as he is.
