Chapter 51

1Listen to Me, you who pursue justice, You who seek Hashem: Look to the rock you were hewn from, To the quarry you were dug from.

2Look back to Avraham your father And to Sara who brought you forth. For he was only one when I called him, But I blessed him and made him many.

3Truly Hashem has comforted Tzion, Comforted all her ruins; He has made her wilderness like Eden, Her desert like the Garden of Hashem. Gladness and joy shall abide there, Thanksgiving and the sound of music.

4Hearken to Me, My people, And give ear to Me, O My nation, For teaching shall go forth from Me, My way for the light of peoples. In a moment I will bring it:

5The triumph I grant is near, The success I give has gone forth. My arms shall provide for the peoples; The coastlands shall trust in Me, They shall look to My arm.

6Raise your eyes to the heavens, And look upon the earth beneath: Though the heavens should melt away like smoke, And the earth wear out like a garment, And its inhabitants die out as well, My victory shall stand forever, My triumph shall remain unbroken.

7Listen to Me, you who care for the right, O people who lay My instruction to heart! Fear not the insults of men, And be not dismayed at their jeers;

8For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, The worm shall eat them up like wool. But My triumph shall endure forever, My salvation through all the ages.

9Awake, awake, clothe yourself with splendor. O arm of Hashem! Awake as in days of old, As in former ages! It was you that hacked Rahab in pieces, That pierced the Dragon.

11So let the ransomed of Hashem return, And come with shouting to Tzion, Crowned with joy everlasting. Let them attain joy and gladness, While sorrow and sighing flee.

13You have forgotten Hashem your Maker, Who stretched out the skies and made firm the earth! And you live all day in constant dread Because of the rage of an oppressor Who is aiming to cut [you] down. Yet of what account is the rage of an oppressor?
