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.
Be full of joy in the Lord always. I will say again, be full of joy.
Good people, rejoice and be happy in the Lord. Sing all you whose hearts are right.
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.
God has said from his Temple, “When I win, I will divide Shechem and measure off the Valley of Succoth.
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.
