17 The Lord your God among you is powerful—
    he will save
and he will take joyful delight in you.
    In his love he will renew you[a] with his love;
        he will celebrate with singing because of you.
18 I will gather the afflicted from the solemn assembly;
    those who were with you,
        who were bearing a burden of disgrace.

19 “Watch how I deal with everyone who oppresses you!
    At that time I will rescue the one who is lame,
        and I will draw to me[b] the one who has been driven away.
I will honor[c] them with praise
    and with a good reputation in every land
        where they have been put to shame.
