I will bless her priests in all they do, and her people will sing and shout for joy.

The LORD is king. He is clothed with majesty and strength. The earth is set firmly in place and cannot be moved.

O LORD, my God, how great you are! You are clothed with majesty and glory;

I have always acted justly and fairly.

Jerusalem rejoices because of what the LORD has done. She is like a bride dressed for her wedding. God has clothed her with salvation and victory.

But take up the weapons of the Lord Jesus Christ, and stop paying attention to your sinful nature and satisfying its desires.

In the same way you younger people must submit yourselves to your elders. And all of you must put on the apron of humility, to serve one another; for the scripture says, "God resists the proud, but shows favor to the humble."

She has been given clean shining linen to wear." (The linen is the good deeds of God's people.)

May those who gloat over my suffering be completely defeated and confused; may those who claim to be better than I am be covered with shame and disgrace.

May those who want to see me acquitted shout for joy and say again and again, "How great is the LORD! He is pleased with the success of his servant."

But the righteous are glad and rejoice in his presence; they are happy and shout for joy.

May all who come to you be glad and joyful. May all who are thankful for your salvation always say, "How great is God!"

So may all your enemies die like that, O LORD, but may your friends shine like the rising sun! And there was peace in the land for forty years.

Clap your hands for joy, all peoples! Praise God with loud songs!

They will sing for joy, but you will cry with a broken heart.

They sang the LORD's praises, repeating the refrain: "The LORD is good, and his love for Israel is eternal." Everyone shouted with all their might, praising the LORD, because the work on the foundation of the Temple had been started.

Many of the older priests, Levites, and heads of clans had seen the first Temple, and as they watched the foundation of this Temple being laid, they cried and wailed. But the others who were there shouted for joy.

Sing and shout for joy, people of Israel! Rejoice with all your heart, Jerusalem!

Rejoice, rejoice, people of Zion! Shout for joy, you people of Jerusalem! Look, your king is coming to you! He comes triumphant and victorious, but humble and riding on a donkey--- on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
