* For LORD has comforted Zion . He has comforted all her waste places , and has made her wilderness like Eden , and her desert like the garden of LORD . Joy and gladness shall be found therein , thanksgiving , and the voice of melody . * Attend to me , O my people , and give ear to me , O my nation . For a law shall go forth from me , and I will establish my justice for a light of the peoples . * My righteousness is near . My salvation has gone forth , and my arms shall judge the peoples . The isles shall wait for me , and on my arm they shall trust . * Lift up your eyes to the heavens , and look upon the earth beneath . For the heavens shall vanish away like smoke , and the earth shall grow old like a garment , and those who dwell in it shall die in like manner . But my salvation shal * Hearken to me , ye who know righteousness , the people in whose heart is my law . Fear ye not the reproach of men , nor be ye dismayed at their revilings . * For the moth shall eat them up like a garment , and the worm shall eat them like wool . But my righteousness shall be forever , and my salvation to all generations . * Awake , awake , put on strength , O arm of LORD . Awake , as in the days of old , the generations of ancient times . Is it not thou who cut Rahab in pieces , who pierced the monster ? * Is it not thou who dried up the sea , the waters of the great deep , who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over ? * And the ransomed of LORD shall return , and come with singing to Zion , and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads . They shall obtain gladness and joy , [and ] sorrow and sighing shall flee away . * I , even I , am he who comforts you . Who are thou , that thou are afraid of man who shall die , and of the son of man who shall be made as grass , * and have forgotten LORD thy maker , who stretched forth the heavens , and laid the foundations of the earth , and fear continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor , when he makes ready to destroy ? And where is the fury
