Who (A)tread down their enemies
In the mire of the streets in the battle.
They shall fight because the Lord is with them,
And the riders on horses shall be put to shame.

“I will strengthen the house of Judah,
And I will save the house of Joseph.
(B)I will bring them back,
Because I (C)have mercy on them.
They shall be as though I had not cast them aside;
For I am the Lord their God,
And I (D)will hear them.

And their (E)heart shall rejoice as if with wine.
Yes, their children shall see it and be glad;
Their heart shall rejoice in the Lord.
