1. ‘Listen to me, you who pursue righteousnessand who seek the Lord:look to the rock from which you were cutand to the quarry from which you were hewn;
2. look to Abraham, your father,and to Sarah, who gave you birth.When I called him he was only one man,and I blessed him and made him many.
3. The Lord will surely comfort Zionand will look with compassion on all her ruins;he will make her deserts like Eden,her wastelands like the garden of the Lord.Joy and gladness will be found in her,thanksgiving and the sound of singing.
