1. Listen to me, you who pursue justice,who seek the Lord;Look to the rock from which you were hewn,to the quarry from which you were taken;
2. Look to Abraham, your father,and to Sarah, who gave you birth;Though he was but one when I called him,I blessed him and made him many.
3. Yes, the Lord shall comfort Zion,shall comfort all her ruins;Her wilderness he shall make like Eden,her wasteland like the garden of the Lord;Joy and gladness shall be found in her,thanksgiving and the sound of song.
4. Be attentive to me, my people;my nation, give ear to me.For teaching shall go forth from me,and my judgment, as light to the peoples.
5. I will make my victory come swiftly;my salvation shall go forthand my arm shall judge the nations;In me the coastlands shall hope,and my arm they shall await.
