English Leader: 1 When the Lord brought back his exiles to Jerusalem,
it was like a dream!

L’Éternel a fait pour eux de grandes choses!

“What amazing things the Lord has done for them.”

and encourage those who have weak knees.
ALL: 4 Say to those with fearful hearts,
“Be strong, and do not fear,
for your God is coming to destroy your enemies.
He is coming to save you.”

and unplug the ears of the deaf.

and those who cannot speak will sing for joy!

and springs of water will satisfy the thirsty land.

It will be only for those who walk in God’s ways;
Leader: 9 Lions will not lurk along the road,
nor any other ferocious beasts.
There will be no other dangers.
Only the redeemed will walk on it.
ALL: 10 Those who have been ransomed by the Lord will return.
They will be crowned with everlasting joy.
Sorrow and mourning will disappear,
and they will be filled with joy and gladness.

Leader: 13 The Lord looks down from heaven
and sees the whole human race.
14 From his throne he observes
all who live on the earth.
ALL: 15 He made their hearts,
so he understands everything they do.
Leader: 16 The best-equipped army cannot save a king,
nor is great strength enough to save a warrior.
17 Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory—
for all its strength, it cannot save you.
ALL: 18 But the Lord watches over those who fear him,
those who rely on his unfailing love.
Leader: 19 He rescues them from death
and keeps them alive in times of famine.
ALL: 20 We put our hope in the Lord.
He is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
22 Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord,
for our hope is in you alone.
