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.

Awake, awake,(A) arm(B) of the Lord,
    clothe yourself with strength!(C)
Awake, as in days gone by,
    as in generations of old.(D)
Was it not you who cut Rahab(E) to pieces,
    who pierced that monster(F) through?
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)
