6 If you turn to him with all your heart and with all your soul,

to do what is true before him,

then he will turn to you

and will no longer hide his face from you.

So now see what he has done for you;

acknowledge him at the top of your voice.

Bless the Lord of righteousness,

and exalt the King of the ages.e

In the land of my exile I acknowledge him,

and show his power and majesty to a nation of sinners:

‘Turn back, you sinners, and do what is right before him;

perhaps he may look with favor upon you and show you mercy.’

7 As for me, I exalt my God,

and my soul rejoices in the King of heaven.

8 Let all people speak of his majesty,

and acknowledge him in Jerusalem.

9 O Jerusalem, the holy city,

he afflictedf you for the deeds of your hands,g

but will again have mercy on the children of the righteous.

10 Acknowledge the Lord, for he is good,h

and bless the King of the ages,

so that his tenti may be rebuilt in you in joy.

May he cheer all those within you who are captives,

and love all those within you who are distressed,

to all generations forever.
