The Sunday of the
Passion
The Gathering of
God’s People
Zephaniah 3:14-20
Sing aloud, O daughter Zion; shout, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O
daughter Jerusalem! The Lord has taken away the judgments against you, he
has turned away your enemies. The king
of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst; you
shall fear disaster no more. On that day
it shall be said to Jerusalem: Do not fear, O Zion; do not let your hands grow
weak. 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 as on a day of festival. I
will remove disaster from you, so that you will not bear reproach for it. I will deal with all your oppressors at that
time. And I will save the lame and
gather the outcast, and I will change their shame into praise and renown in all
the earth. At that time I will bring you
home, at the time when I gather you; for I will make you renowned and praised among
all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes,
says the Lord.
