Zephaniah 3:16-18

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁶ On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:
Do not fear, O Zion;
    do not let your hands grow weak.
¹⁷ The Lord, your God, is in your midst,
    a warrior who gives victory;
he will rejoice over you with gladness,
    he will renew you^[a] in his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing
¹⁸     as on a day of festival.^[b]
I will remove disaster from you,^[c]
    so that you will not bear reproach for it.
