Isaiah 51:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ Wake up, arm of the Lord! Wake up!
    Dress yourself with strength as if it were your clothes!
Wake up, just as you did in the past.
    Wake up, as you did long ago.
Didn’t you cut Rahab to pieces?
    Didn’t you stab that sea monster to death?
¹⁰ Didn’t you dry up the Red Sea?
    Didn’t you dry up those deep waters?
You made a road on the bottom of that sea.
    Then those who were set free went across.
¹¹ Those the Lord has saved will return to their land.
    They will sing as they enter the city of Zion.
    Joy that lasts forever will be like beautiful crowns on their heads.
They will be filled with gladness and joy.
    Sorrow and sighing will be gone.
