Isaiah 51:9-11
Names of God Bible
9 Wake up! Wake up! Clothe yourself with strength, O Yahweh!
Wake up as you did in days long past, as in generations long ago.
Didn’t you cut Rahab[a] into pieces and stab the serpent?
10 Didn’t you dry up the sea, the water of the great ocean?
You made a road in the depths of the sea
so that the people reclaimed by the Lord
might pass through it.
11 The people ransomed by Yahweh will return.
They will come to Zion singing with joy.
Everlasting happiness will be on their heads as a crown.
They will be glad and joyful.
They will have no sorrow or grief.
