54 “Sing, barren woman,^(A)
    you who never bore a child;
burst into song, shout for joy,^(B)
    you who were never in labor;^(C)
because more are the children^(D) of the desolate^(E) woman
    than of her who has a husband,^(F)”
says the Lord.

⁹ Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!^(A)
    Shout,^(B) Daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you,^(C)
    righteous and victorious,^(D)
lowly and riding on a donkey,^(E)
    on a colt, the foal of a donkey.^(F)
10 I will take away the chariots from Ephraim
    and the warhorses from Jerusalem,
    and the battle bow will be broken.^(G)
He will proclaim peace^(H) to the nations.
    His rule will extend from sea to sea
    and from the River^[a] to the ends of the earth.^(I)

¹⁸ But be glad and rejoice^(A) forever
    in what I will create,
for I will create Jerusalem^(B) to be a delight
    and its people a joy.
¹⁹ I will rejoice^(C) over Jerusalem
    and take delight^(D) in my people;
the sound of weeping and of crying^(E)
    will be heard in it no more.

¹⁰ Sing^(A) to the Lord a new song,^(B)
    his praise^(C) from the ends of the earth,^(D)
you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it,^(E)
    you islands,^(F) and all who live in them.
¹¹ Let the wilderness^(G) and its towns raise their voices;
    let the settlements where Kedar^(H) lives rejoice.
Let the people of Sela^(I) sing for joy;
    let them shout from the mountaintops.^(J)
12 Let them give glory^(K) to the Lord
    and proclaim his praise^(L) in the islands.^(M)
