Cheer
for Prostrate Zion |
|
|
 |
| Isaiah 52:1 |
|
Awake, awake, Clothe yourself in your strength,
O Zion; Clothe yourself in your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city;
For the uncircumcised and the unclean Will no longer come into you. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 52:2 |
|
Shake yourself from the dust, rise up, O captive
Jerusalem; Loose yourself from the chains around your neck, O captive daughter
of Zion. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 52:3 |
|
For thus says the LORD, "You were sold for nothing
and you will be redeemed without money." |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 52:4 |
|
For thus says the Lord GOD, "My people went
down at the first into Egypt to reside there; then the Assyrian oppressed them
without cause. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 52:5 |
|
"Now therefore, what do I have here," declares
the LORD, "seeing that My people have been taken away without cause?" Again the
LORD declares, "Those who rule over them howl, and My name is continually blasphemed
all day long. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 52:6 |
|
"Therefore My people shall know My name; therefore
in that day I am the one who is speaking, 'Here I am.'" |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 52:7 |
|
How lovely on the mountains Are the feet of
him who brings good news, Who announces peace And brings good news of happiness,
Who announces salvation, And says to Zion, "Your God reigns!" |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 52:8 |
|
Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices,
They shout joyfully together; For they will see with their own eyes When the LORD
restores Zion. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 52:9 |
|
Break forth, shout joyfully together, You waste
places of Jerusalem; For the LORD has comforted His people, He has redeemed Jerusalem. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 52:10 |
|
The LORD has bared His holy arm In the sight
of all the nations, That all the ends of the earth may see The salvation of our
God. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 52:11 |
|
Depart, depart, go out from there, Touch nothing
unclean; Go out of the midst of her, purify yourselves, You who carry the vessels
of the LORD. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 52:12 |
|
But you will not go out in haste, Nor will you
go as fugitives; For the LORD will go before you, And the God of Israel will be
your rear guard. |
| |
|

|
The Exalted Servant |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 52:13 |
|
Behold, My servant will prosper, He will be
high and lifted up and greatly exalted. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 52:14 |
|
Just as many were astonished at you, My people,
So His appearance was marred more than any man And His form more than the sons
of men. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 52:15 |
|
Thus He will sprinkle many nations, Kings will
shut their mouths on account of Him; For what had not been told them they will
see, And what they had not heard they will understand. |
