8 When he has swallowed up death once and for all,p

the Lord God will wipe away the tears

from every faceq

and remove his people’s disgracer

from the whole earth,

for the Lord has spoken.

9 On that day it will be said,

“Look, this is our God;

we have waited for him, and he has saved us.

This is the Lord; we have waited for him.

Let’s rejoice and be glad in his salvation.”s
