Indeed, (A)the Lord will comfort Zion;
He will comfort all her (B)ruins.
And He will make her (C)wilderness like (D)Eden,
And her desert like the (E)garden of the Lord.
(F)Joy and gladness will be found in her,
Thanksgiving and the sound of a melody.

(G)Pay attention to Me, My people,
And listen to Me, My [a]nation;
For a (H)law will go out from Me,
And I will bring My (I)justice as a (J)light of the peoples.
My (K)righteousness is near, My salvation has gone forth,
And My (L)arms will judge the peoples;
The (M)coastlands will wait for Me,
And they will wait expectantly for My (N)arm.
