11 For the Lord will deliver Jacob
    and redeem him from the hand of one stronger than he.
12 They’ll come and cry out with joy
    on the heights of Zion.
They’ll be radiant over the Lord’s goodness,
    over the grain, the new wine, the fresh oil,
        and over the young of the flocks and herds.
Their lives will be like a well-watered garden.
    They’ll never again grow faint.[a]
13 The virgins will rejoice with dancing,
    together with young men and old men.
For I’ll turn their mourning into joy,
    and I’ll comfort them and give them gladness
        instead of sorrow.
