When you turn to him with all your heart and your all being to act sincerely before him, then he will turn to you and never hide his face from you again. And now, look at what he has done for you, and acknowledge him in everything you say. Praise the Lord of righteousness, and exalt the king of the ages! I will acknowledge him in the land where I am a captive and make known his power and greatness to a sinful nation. So turn around, you sinners, and act justly before him. Who knows? Perhaps he will want you back and show you mercy.

Acknowledge the Lord in goodness, and praise the Lord of ages! Then your dwelling will be rebuilt for you with joy. He will bring joy to all the captives among you, and he will love for all eternity all those who have been subjugated.
