11 Those the Lord has rescued(A) will return.
    They will enter Zion with singing;(B)
    everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy(C) will overtake them,
    and sorrow and sighing will flee away.(D)

12 “I, even I, am he who comforts(E) you.
    Who are you that you fear(F) mere mortals,(G)
    human beings who are but grass,(H)
13 that you forget(I) the Lord your Maker,(J)
    who stretches out the heavens(K)
    and who lays the foundations of the earth,
that you live in constant terror(L) every day
    because of the wrath of the oppressor,
    who is bent on destruction?
For where is the wrath of the oppressor?(M)
