17 The Lord your God is among you,
a warrior(A) who saves.
He will rejoice over you(B) with gladness.
He will be quiet[a] in his love.
He will delight in you with singing.”(C)

18 I will gather those who have been driven(D)
from the appointed festivals;
they will be a tribute from you[b]
and a reproach on her.[c]
19 Yes, at that time
I will deal with all who oppress you.
I will save the lame(E) and gather the outcasts;(F)
I will make those who were disgraced
throughout the earth
receive praise and fame.
