Hearken
to
me,
ye
that
follow
after
righteousness,
ye
that
seek
the
LORD:
look
unto
the
rock
[whence]
ye
are
hewn,
and
to
the
hole
of
the
pit
[whence]
ye
are
digged.
2
Look
unto
Abraham
your
father,
and
unto
Sarah
[that]
bare
you:
for
I
called
him
alone,
and
blessed
him,
and
increased
him.
3
For
the
LORD
shall
comfort
Zion:
he
will
comfort
all
her
waste
places;
and
he
will
make
her
wilderness
like
Eden,
and
her
desert
like
the
garden
of
the
LORD;
joy
and
gladness
shall
be
found
therein,
thanksgiving,
and
the
voice
of
melody.
4
Hearken
unto
me,
my
people;
and
give
ear
unto
me,
O
my
nation:
for
a
law
shall
proceed
from
me,
and
I
will
make
my
judgment
to
rest
for
a
light
of
the
people.
5
My
righteousness
[is]
near;
my
salvation
is
gone
forth,
and
mine
arms
shall
judge
the
people;
the
isles
shall
wait
upon
me,
and
on
mine
arm
shall
they
trust.
6
Lift
up
your
eyes
to
the
heavens,
and
look
upon
the
earth
beneath:
for
the
heavens
shall
vanish
away
like
smoke,
and
the
earth
shall
wax
old
like
a
garment,
and
they
that
dwell
therein
shall
die
in
like
manner:
but
my
salvation
shall
be
for
ever,
and
my
righteousness
shall
not
be
abolished.
7
Hearken
unto
me,
ye
that
know
righteousness,
the
people
in
whose
heart
[is]
my
law;
fear
ye
not
the
reproach
of
men,
neither
be
ye
afraid
of
their
revilings.
8
For
the
moth
shall
eat
them
up
like
a
garment,
and
the
worm
shall
eat
them
like
wool:
but
my
righteousness
shall
be
for
ever,
and
my
salvation
from
generation
to
generation.
9
Awake,
awake,
put
on
strength,
O
arm
of
the
LORD;
awake,
as
in
the
ancient
days,
in
the
generations
of
old.
[Art]
thou
not
it
that
hath
cut
Rahab,
[and]
wounded
the
dragon?
10
[Art]
thou
not
it
which
hath
dried
the
sea,
the
waters
of
the
great
deep;
that
hath
made
the
depths
of
the
sea
a
way
for
the
ransomed
to
pass
over?
11
Therefore
the
redeemed
of
the
LORD
shall
return,
and
come
with
singing
unto
Zion;
and
everlasting
joy
[shall
be]
upon
their
head:
they
shall
obtain
gladness
and
joy;
[and]
sorrow
and
mourning
shall
flee
away.
12
I,
[even]
I,
[am]
he
that
comforteth
you:
who
[art]
thou,
that
thou
shouldest
be
afraid
of
a
man
[that]
shall
die,
and
of
the
son
of
man
[which]
shall
be
made
[as]
grass;
13
And
forgettest
the
LORD
thy
maker,
that
hath
stretched
forth
the
heavens,
and
laid
the
foundations
of
the
earth;
and
hast
feared
continually
every
day
because
of
the
fury
of
the
oppressor,
as
if
he
were
ready
to
destroy?
and
where
[is]
the
fury
of
the
oppressor?
14
The
captive
exile
hasteneth
that
he
may
be
loosed,
and
that
he
should
not
die
in
the
pit,
nor
that
his
bread
should
fail.
15
But
I
[am]
the
LORD
thy
God,
that
divided
the
sea,
whose
waves
roared:
The
LORD
of
hosts
[is]
his
name.
16
And
I
have
put
my
words
in
thy
mouth,
and
I
have
covered
thee
in
the
shadow
of
mine
hand,
that
I
may
plant
the
heavens,
and
lay
the
foundations
of
the
earth,
and
say
unto
Zion,
Thou
[art]
my
people.
17
Awake,
awake,
stand
up,
O
Jerusalem,
which
hast
drunk
at
the
hand
of
the
LORD
the
cup
of
his
fury;
thou
hast
drunken
the
dregs
of
the
cup
of
trembling,
[and]
wrung
[them]
out.
18
[There
is]
none
to
guide
her
among
all
the
sons
[whom]
she
hath
brought
forth;
neither
[is
there
any]
that
taketh
her
by
the
hand
of
all
the
sons
[that]
she
hath
brought
19
These
two
[things]
are
come
unto
thee;
who
shall
be
sorry
for
thee?
desolation,
and
destruction,
and
the
famine,
and
the
sword:
by
whom
shall
I
comfort
thee?
20
Thy
sons
have
fainted,
they
lie
at
the
head
of
all
the
streets,
as
a
wild
bull
in
a
net:
they
are
full
of
the
fury
of
the
LORD,
the
rebuke
of
thy
God.
21
Therefore
hear
now
this,
thou
afflicted,
and
drunken,
but
not
with
wine:
22
Thus
saith
thy
Lord
the
LORD,
and
thy
God
[that]
pleadeth
the
cause
of
his
people,
Behold,
I
have
taken
out
of
thine
hand
the
cup
of
trembling,
[even]
the
dregs
of
the
cup
of
my
fury;
thou
shalt
no
more
drink
it
again:
23
But
I
will
put
it
into
the
hand
of
them
that
afflict
thee;
which
have
said
to
thy
soul,
Bow
down,
that
we
may
go
over:
and
thou
hast
laid
thy
body
as
the
ground,
and
as
the
street,
to
them
that
went
over.
