1. The wilderness and the parched land will exult;the Arabah will rejoice and bloom;
2. Like the crocus it shall bloom abundantly,and rejoice with joyful song.The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,the splendor of Carmel and Sharon;They will see the glory of the Lord,the splendor of our God.
3. Strengthen hands that are feeble,make firm knees that are weak,
4. Say to the fearful of heart:Be strong, do not fear!Here is your God,he comes with vindication;With divine recompensehe comes to save you.
