Isaiah 51:9-16
91AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, putH3847 on strengthH5797, O armH2220 of the LordH3068; AwakeH5782 as in the 2daysH3117 of oldH6924, the generationsH1755 of longH5769 agoH5769. 3Was it not You who cutH2672 RahabH7293 in piecesH2672, Who piercedH2490 the 4dragonH8577?10Was it not You who 5driedH2717 up the seaH3220, The watersH4325 of the greatH7227 deepH8415; Who madeH7760 the depthsH4615 of the seaH3220 a pathwayH1870 For the 6redeemedH1350 to crossH5674 overH5674?11So the 7ransomedH6299 of the LordH3068 will returnH7725 And comeH935 with joyfulH7440 shoutingH7440 to ZionH6726, And 8everlastingH5769 joyH8057 will be on their headsH7218. They will obtainH5381 gladnessH8342 and joyH8057, And 9sorrowH3015 and sighingH585 will fleeH5127 away.
12“I, even I, am He who 10comfortsH5162 you. WhoH4310 are you that you are afraidH3372 of 11manH582 who diesH4191 And of the sonH1121 of manH120 who is madeH5414 12like grassH2682,13That you have 13forgottenH7911 the LordH3068 your MakerH6213, Who 14stretchedH5186 out the heavensH8064 And laidH3245 the foundationsH3245 of the earthH776, That you 15fearH6342 continuallyH8548 allH3605 dayH3117 long becauseH4480H6440 of the furyH2534 of the oppressorH6693, As he makesH3559 readyH3559 to destroyH7843? But whereH346 is the furyH2534 of the 16oppressorH6693? 14The 1718exileH6808 will soonH4116 be setH6605 freeH6605, and will not dieH4191 in the dungeonH7845, 19norH3808 will his breadH3899 be lackingH2637. 15For I am the LordH3068 your GodH430, who 20stirsH7280 up the seaH3220 and its wavesH1530 roarH1993 (the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 is His nameH8034). 16I have 21putH7760 My wordsH1697 in your mouthH6310 and have 22coveredH3680 you with the shadowH6738 of My handH3027, to 2324establishH5193 the heavensH8064, to foundH3245 the earthH776, and to sayH559 to ZionH6726, ‘You are My peopleH5971.’”
