Isaiah 51:9-11
New International Version
9 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)
Isaiah 51:9-11
New American Standard Bible
9 (A)Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord;
Awake as in the (B)days of old, the generations of long ago.
(C)Was it not You who cut [a]Rahab in pieces,
Who pierced the (D)dragon?
10 Was it not You who (E)dried up the sea,
The waters of the great deep;
Who made the depths of the sea a pathway
For the (F)redeemed to cross over?
11 And the (G)redeemed of the Lord will return
And come to Zion with joyful shouting,
And (H)everlasting joy will be on their heads.
They will obtain gladness and joy,
And (I)sorrow and sighing will flee away.
