Isaiah 51:9-11
World English Bible
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of Yahweh!
Awake, as in the days of old,
the generations of ancient times.
Isn’t it you who cut Rahab in pieces,
who pierced the monster?
10 Isn’t it you who dried up the sea,
the waters of the great deep;
who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
11 Those ransomed by Yahweh will return,
and come with singing to Zion.
Everlasting joy shall be on their heads.
They will obtain gladness and joy.
Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Isaiah 51:9-11

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.
