And now, dear brothers and sisters, let me say one more thing as I close this letter. Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
“Great and marvelous are your actions,
Lord God Almighty.
Just and true are your ways,
O King of the nations.
Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come and worship before you,
for your righteous deeds have been revealed.
*How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel* reigns!*The watchmen shout and sing with joy, for before their very eyes they see the Lord bringing his people home to Jerusalem.
Let the ruins of Jerusalem break into joyful song, for the Lord has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord will demonstrate his holy power before the eyes of all the nations. The ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
