^4 (A)All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O Lord,
    for they have heard the words of your mouth,

^4 (B)Lift up your eyes all around, and see;
    they all gather together, they come to you;
^(C)your sons shall come from afar,
    and your daughters shall be carried on the hip.
⁵ Then you shall see and ^(D)be radiant;
    your heart shall thrill and exult,^[a]
because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
    ^(E)the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
⁶ A multitude of camels shall cover you,
    the young camels of ^(F)Midian and ^(G)Ephah;
    all those from ^(H)Sheba shall come.
^(I)They shall bring gold and frankincense,
    and shall bring good news, the praises of the Lord.
⁷ All the flocks of ^(J)Kedar shall be gathered to you;
    the rams of ^(K)Nebaioth shall minister to you;
^(L)they shall come up with acceptance on my altar,
    ^(M)and I will beautify my beautiful house.

⁸ Who are these that fly like a cloud,
    and ^(N)like doves to their windows?
⁹ For ^(O)the coastlands shall hope for me,
    ^(P)the ships of Tarshish first,
^(Q)to bring your children from afar,
    their silver and gold with them,
for the name of the Lord your God,
    and for the Holy One of Israel,
    because ^(R)he has made you beautiful.

^10 (S)Foreigners shall build up your walls,
    and ^(T)their kings shall minister to you;
for in my wrath I struck you,
    but in my favor I have had mercy on you.
^11 (U)Your gates shall be open continually;
    day and night they shall not be shut,
^(V)that people may bring to you the wealth of the nations,
    with their kings led in procession.
^12 (W)For the nation and kingdom
    that will not serve you shall perish;
    those nations shall be utterly laid waste.
^13 (X)The glory of Lebanon shall come to you,
    the cypress, the plane, and ^(Y)the pine,
to beautify the place of my sanctuary,
    and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
^14 (Z)The sons of those who afflicted you
    shall come bending low to you,
^(AA)and all who despised you
    shall bow down at your feet;
^(AB)they shall call you the City of the Lord,
    the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

^15 (AC)Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,
    with no one passing through,
^(AD)I will make you majestic forever,
    a joy from age to age.
^16 (AE)You shall suck the milk of nations;
    you shall nurse at the breast of kings;
and you shall know that ^(AF)I, the Lord, am your Savior
    and your Redeemer, ^(AG)the Mighty One of Jacob.

¹⁷ Instead of bronze I will bring gold,
    and instead of iron I will bring silver;
instead of wood, bronze,
    instead of stones, iron.
I will make your overseers peace
    ^(AH)and your taskmasters righteousness.
^18 (AI)Violence shall no more be heard in your land,
    devastation or destruction within your borders;
^(AJ)you shall call your walls Salvation,
    and your gates Praise.

^19 (AK)The sun shall be no more
    your light by day,
nor for brightness shall the moon
    give you light;^[b]
but the Lord will be your everlasting light,
    and your God will be your glory.^[c]
20 Your sun shall no more go down,
    nor your moon withdraw itself;
for the Lord will be your everlasting light,
    and ^(AL)your days of mourning shall be ended.
^21 (AM)Your people shall all be righteous;
    ^(AN)they shall possess the land forever,
^(AO)the branch of my planting, the work of my hands,
    that I might be glorified.^[d]
22 (AP)The least one shall become a clan,
    and the smallest one a mighty nation;
^(AQ)I am the Lord;
    in its time I will hasten it.
