14 Zion’s daughter, sing happily.

≈All Israel, shout aloud.

Daughters of Yerushalem, be happy and triumphant will all your being.

15 Yahweh will stop punishing you.

He’s forced your enemy to retreat.

Israel’s king, Yahweh, is among you.

Don’t worry any more about being harmed.

16 In that day Yerushalem will be told,

“Don’t be afraid, Zion.

Don’t let your hands grow weak.

17 Your God Yahweh is right there.

A powerful warrior, he’ll save you.

He’ll be so happy about you.

He’ll be silent in his love.

He’ll talk happily about your rescue.”

18 I will gather those among you who grieve so they can attend the celebrations.

They were taken as tribute and it was a reproach.

19 Look, I’ll be dealing with all of your oppressors at that time.

I’ll save your people who’re disabled or who’ve been shamed.

Then I’ll get them praising,

and change their shame into a good reputation around the world.

20 At that time I will bring you all in—

≈yes, I’ll gather you all together at that time.

You’ll have a good reputation and people all over the world will praise you,

as I restore your good fortune right in front of your eyes.

Yahweh has spoken.
