The LORD your God is among you; He is mighty to save. He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you with His love; He will rejoice over you with singing.”
The reassembled remnant exults because God has removed judgment and cleared away every enemy. Jehovah once more stands as King in the midst of His congregation, and she will see evil no more. The heaping up of words for rejoicing matches the magnitude of the salvation prepared.
