Awake, awake, put on strength,
    O arm of the Lord.
Awake as in the ancient days,
    in the generations of old.
Was it not You who cut Rahab to pieces
    and wounded the dragon?
10 Was it not You who dried up the sea,
    the waters of the great deep,
who made the depths of the sea a pathway
    for the ransomed to pass over?
11 Therefore, the redeemed of the Lord shall return
    and come with singing to Zion,
    and everlasting joy shall be upon their head.
They shall obtain gladness and joy,
    and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.

10 Was it not you who dried up the sea,(G)
    the waters of the great deep,(H)
who made a road in the depths of the sea(I)
    so that the redeemed(J) might cross over?
11 Those the Lord has rescued(K) will return.
    They will enter Zion with singing;(L)
    everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy(M) will overtake them,
    and sorrow and sighing will flee away.(N)
