11  You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;

you have loosed my sackcloth

and clothed me with gladness,

5  ⁿThose who sow in tears

shall reap with shouts of joy!

3  to grant to those who mourn in Zion—

to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,

the ^doil of gladness instead of mourning,

the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;

that they may be called oaks of righteousness,

the ^eplanting of the Lord, that he may be glorified.¹

13  Then shall the young women rejoice in the dance,

and the young men and the old shall be merry.

I will turn their mourning into ^fjoy;

I will ^gcomfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow.
