Isaiah 51:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ Wake up! Do something, Lord.
    Be strong and ready.
Wake up! Do what you did
    for our people long ago.
Didn't you chop up
    Rahab^[a] the monster?
¹⁰ Didn't you dry up the deep sea
and make a road for your people
    to follow safely across?
¹¹ Now those you have rescued
will return to Jerusalem,
    singing on their way.
They will be crowned
    with great happiness,
never again to be burdened
    with sadness and sorrow.
