Tob
13:814 Friday Morning 4
Speak, all men, of God's majesty, * sing his praises in Jerusalem!
Jerusalem, holy city, * God scourged you for your children's deeds,
once again with innocence you will praise his mercy * once again will your tent be rebuilt with joy.
Gladden the captives gathered within you, * pity the distressed gathered within you * for all generations to come.
A bright light has shown * over every part of the world.
Many people will come to you, * people from everywhere,
with gifts in their hands, * for the King of heaven.
For ages to come your people will rejoice over you * and over the great name of Yahweh for all generations.
So rejoice and shout * over your innocent children.
For they will all be gathered within you * and will bless the Lord of the ages.
How happy are those who love you, * blest who rejoice over your prosperity.
Happy also are those who mourned * over all the punishment your suffered,
for they will soon rejoice in you, * seeing your joy forever.
