15 The Lord has acquitted you;[a]
    turning back your adversaries.

16 “When all of this happens,[b] it will be told Jerusalem,
    ‘Don’t be afraid!”
and to Zion,
    ‘Don’t lose courage!”[c]

and he will take joyful delight in you.
    In his love he will renew you[d] with his love;
        he will celebrate with singing because of you.
