1. Awake, awake!Put on your strength, Zion;Put on your glorious garments,Jerusalem, holy city.Never again shall the uncircumcisedor the unclean enter you.
2. Arise, shake off the dust,sit enthroned, Jerusalem;Loose the bonds from your neck,captive daughter Zion!
3. For thus says the Lord:For nothing you were sold,without money you shall be redeemed.
4. For thus says the Lord God:To Egypt long ago my people went down,to sojourn there;Assyria, too, oppressed them for nought.
