I will greatly rejoice in Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with garments of salvation, he hath covered me with robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:

For who hath despised day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see plummet in hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are eyes of Lord, which run to and fro through whole earth.
