Isaiah 51:9-16

91Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord; Awake as in the 2days of old, the generations of long ago. 3Was it not You who cut 4Rahab in pieces, Who pierced the 5dragon?10Was it not You who 6dried up the sea, The waters of the great deep; Who made the depths of the sea a pathway For the 7redeemed to cross over?11And the 8redeemed of the Lord will return And come to Zion with joyful shouting, And 9everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, And 10sorrow and sighing will flee away.

12“I, I Myself, am He who 11comforts you. Who are you that you are afraid of 1213mortal man, And of a son of man who is made like 14grass,13That you have 15forgotten the Lord your Maker, Who 16stretched out the heavens And laid the foundations of the earth, That you 17fear continually all day long because of the fury of the oppressor, As he makes ready to destroy? And where is the rage of the 18oppressor? 14The 1920exile will soon be set free, and will not die in the 21dungeon, 22nor will his bread be lacking. 15For I am the Lord your God, who 23stirs up the sea so that its waves roar (the Lord of armies is His name). 16And I have 24put My words in your mouth and have 25covered you with the shadow of My hand, to 2627establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’”
