14 Sing aloud, O daughter Zion;
shout, O Israel!
Rejoice and exult with all your heart,
O daughter Jerusalem!
15 The Lord has taken away the judgements against you,
he has turned away your enemies.
The king of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst;
you shall fear disaster no more.
16 On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:
Do not fear, O Zion;
do not let your hands grow weak.
17 The Lord, your God, is in your midst,
a warrior who gives victory;
he will rejoice over you with gladness,
he will renew you* in his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing
18 as on a day of festival.*
I will remove disaster from you,*
so that you will not bear reproach for it.

1 Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous, ♦︎
for it is good for the just to sing praises.
2 Praise the Lord with the lyre; ♦︎
on the ten-stringed harp sing his praise.
3 Sing for him a new song; ♦︎
play skilfully, with shouts of praise.
4 For the word of the Lord is true ♦︎
and all his works are sure.
11 But the counsel of the Lord shall endure for ever ♦︎
and the designs of his heart from generation to generation.
12 Happy the nation whose God is the Lord ♦︎
and the people he has chosen for his own.
20 Our soul waits longingly for the Lord; ♦︎
he is our help and our shield.
21 Indeed, our heart rejoices in him; ♦︎
in his holy name have we put our trust.
22 Let your loving-kindness, O Lord, be upon us, ♦︎
as we have set our hope on you.

39 In those days Mary set out and went with haste to a Judean town in the hill country, 40where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 41When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leapt in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit 42and exclaimed with a loud cry, ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. 43And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me? 44For as soon as I heard the sound of your greeting, the child in my womb leapt for joy. 45And blessed is she who believed that there would be* a fulfilment of what was spoken to her by the Lord.’
