Which of the following is your favourite version of Zephaniah 3:17?

Zephaniah 3:17

New International Version, ©2011

¹⁷ The LORD your God is with you,
the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
but will rejoice over you with singing.”

The Message

God Is Present Among You

^16-17Jerusalem will be told:
“Don’t be afraid.
Dear Zion,
don’t despair.
Your God is present among you,
a strong Warrior there to save you.
Happy to have you back, he’ll calm you with his love
and delight you with his songs.

Amplified Bible

¹⁷The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing.

New Living Translation

¹⁷ For the Lord your God is living among you.
He is a mighty savior.
He will take delight in you with gladness.
With his love, he will calm all your fears.^[a]
He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”

Footnotes:

1. Zephaniah 3:17 Or He will be silent in his love. Greek and Syriac versions read He will renew you with his love.

New King James Version

¹⁷The LORD your God in your midst,

The Mighty One, will save;

He will rejoice over you with gladness,

He will quiet you with His love,

He will rejoice over you with singing.”

 

 

 

 

 

I think I love the New King James Version.

“He will quiet you with His love…”
