Awake! Awake; put on strength, O arm of Yahweh!
    Awake as in days of long ago,
        the generations of a long time back!
Are you not the one who cut Rahab in pieces,
    the one who pierced the sea-dragon?
10 Are you not the one who dried up the sea,
    the waters of the great deep,
the one who made[a] the depths of the sea a way
    for those who are redeemed to cross over?
11 So[b] the redeemed ones of Yahweh shall return,
    and they shall come to Zion with singing,
        and everlasting joy shall be on their heads.[c]
Joy and gladness shall appear;[d]
    sorrow and sighing shall flee away!
