11 The people that the Lord has rescued
    will return from exile.
They will sing with joy
    while they go into Zion city.
Their joy will be like a crown
    that they wear on their heads for ever.
They will continue to be very happy.
    They will never be sad or weep again.

12 ‘I am the Lord who comforts you.
You do not need to be afraid of people who are only human.
Remember that they will all die one day,
    like grass that only lives for a short time.
13 Do not forget about the Lord who made you!
    I hung up the sky like a curtain.
    I made the foundation of the earth.

Do not be afraid when your enemy is angry,
    and he is ready to attack you.
Your enemy's anger is useless!
