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

I will remove disaster from you,[c]

    and gather the outcast,
and I will change their shame into praise
    and renown in all the earth.
