R. Rejoice, exult before your God !
Sing, o daughter of Zion,
For your God is here
In the midst of us.
He has scattered all his enemies !
1. In my grief, I appealed to the Lord,
I said « why have You left me alone ? »
I will never forget his love ;
He has heard and answered me.
2. I fear nothing with You at my side,
You have given me courage and strength ;
You have saved me, my Lord and God,
You protect and cherish me.
3. You, o Lord, are my strength and my song,
You deliver me from all my fears,
You have rescued my soul from death,
I will sing and praise your name.
4. Say to Zion, your God is at hand,
Do not fear, put your trust in his love ;
At your side stands the Lord, your God,
He will dance with joy for you !
