1  ^bArise, shine, for your light has come,

and ^cthe glory of the Lord has risen upon you.

2  For behold, darkness shall cover the earth,

and thick darkness the peoples;

but the Lord will arise upon you,

and his glory will be seen upon you.

3  ^dAnd nations shall come to your light,

and kings to the brightness of your rising.

4  ^eLift up your eyes all around, and see;

they all gather together, they come to you;

^fyour sons shall come from afar,

and your daughters shall be carried on the hip.

5  Then you shall see and ^gbe radiant;

your heart shall thrill and exult,¹

because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,

^hthe wealth of the nations shall come to you.

10  ^vForeigners shall build up your walls,

and ^vtheir kings shall minister to you;

for in my wrath I struck you,

but in my favor I have had mercy on you.

11  ^wYour gates shall be open continually;

day and night they shall not be shut,

^wthat people may bring to you the wealth of the nations,

with their kings led in procession.

12  ^xFor the nation and kingdom

that will not serve you shall perish;

those nations shall be utterly laid waste.

13  ^yThe glory of Lebanon shall come to you,

the cypress, the plane, and ^zthe pine,

to beautify the place of my sanctuary,

and I will make the place of my feet glorious.

14  ^aThe sons of those who afflicted you

shall come bending low to you,

^band all who despised you

shall bow down at your feet;

^cthey shall call you the City of the Lord,

the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

15  ^dWhereas you have been forsaken and hated,

with no one passing through,

^eI will make you majestic forever,

a joy from age to age.

16  ^fYou shall suck the milk of nations;

you shall nurse at the breast of kings;

and you shall know that ^gI, the Lord, am your Savior

and your Redeemer, ^hthe Mighty One of Jacob.
