Response: Cry out with joy and gladness: for among you is the great and Holy One of Israel.

My strength and my courage is the LORD,
and he has been my savior.
With joy you will draw water
at the fountain of salvation. Response

proclaim how exalted is his name. Response

let this be known throughout all the earth.
Shout with exultation, O city of Zion,
for great in your midst
is the Holy One of Israel! Response
