60 Arise, ^(A)shine;
For your light has come!
And ^(B)the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
² For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the Lord will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.

⁶ For the Lord ^(A)has called you
Like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit,
Like a youthful wife when you were refused,”
Says your God.
⁷ “For^(B) a mere moment I have forsaken you,
But with great mercies ^(C)I will gather you.
⁸ With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment;
^(D)But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,”
Says the Lord, your Redeemer.

^4 (A)Blessed are those who mourn,
For they shall be comforted.

² “Speak ^[a]comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her,
That her warfare is ended,
That her iniquity is pardoned;
^(A)For she has received from the Lord’s hand
Double for all her sins.”

⁴ A time to ^(A)weep,
And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn,
And a time to dance;
