Songs that people will sing to praise Yahweh
1 At that time, you people of Jerusalem will sing this song:
“Yahweh, we praise you!
Previously, you were angry with us,
but you are not angry now
and you have comforted us.
2 Amazingly, you have come to save us,
so we will trust in you and not be afraid.
Yahweh our God, you enable us to be strong;
you are the one about whom we sing;
you have rescued us from our enemies.”
3 You(pl), his people, will greatly enjoy being saved
like [MET] you enjoy drinking water from a fountain.
4 At that time you all will say,
“We should thank Yahweh! We should praise him [MTY]!
We should tell the people of all the people-groups what he has done;
we should enable them to know that he [MTY] is very great!
5 We should sing to Yahweh, because he has done wonderful things.
We should enable everyone in the world to know it!
6 You people of Jerusalem, shout joyfully to praise Yahweh,
because he is the great Holy One whom we Israeli people worship,
and he lives among us!”
