Everlasting Salvation for Zion
51“Listenf to me, you who pursue righteousnessg
and who seekh the Lord:
Look to the rocki from which you were cut
and to the quarry from which you were hewn;
2look to Abraham,j 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.k
3The Lord will surely comfortl Zionm
and will look with compassion on all her ruins;n
he will make her deserts like Eden,o
her wastelandsp like the garden of the Lord.
Joy and gladnessq will be found in her,
thanksgivingr and the sound of singing.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
“Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness,
you who seek the Lord:
look to the rock from which you were hewn,
and to the quarry from which you were dug.
Look to Abraham your father
and to Sarah who bore you;
for he was but one when I called him,
that I might bless him and multiply him.
For the Lord comforts Zion;
he comforts all her waste places
and makes her wilderness like Eden,
her desert like the garden of the Lord;
joy and gladness will be found in her,
thanksgiving and the voice of song.

Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness,
you who seek the Lord:
Look to the rock from which you were cut,
and to the quarry from which you were dug.
Look to Abraham your father,
and to Sarah who gave birth to you.
When I called him, he was only one;
I blessed him and made him many.
For the Lord will comfort Zion;
he will comfort all her waste places,

Joy and gladness will be found in her,
thanksgiving and melodious song.

NLTNew Living Translation
“Listen to me, all who hope for deliverance—
all who seek the Lord!
Consider the rock from which you were cut,
the quarry from which you were mined.
Yes, think about Abraham, your ancestor,
and Sarah, who gave birth to your nation.
Abraham was only one man when I called him.
But when I blessed him, he became a great nation.”
The Lord will comfort Israel again
and have pity on her ruins.
Her desert will blossom like Eden,
her barren wilderness like the garden of the Lord.
Joy and gladness will be found there.
Songs of thanksgiving will fill the air.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
“Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness,
who seek Yahweh.
Look to the rock from which you were hewn,
and to the excavation of the pit from which you were quarried.
Look to Abraham your father,
and to Sarah; she brought you forth.
For I called him alone,
but I blessed him and made him numerous.”
For Yahweh will comfort Zion;
he will comfort all its sites of ruins.
And he will make its wilderness like Eden,
and its desert like the garden of Yahweh.
Joy and gladness will be found in it,
thanksgiving and the sound of song.

KJV 1900King James Version
Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord:
Look unto the rock whence ye are hewn,
And to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.
Look unto Abraham your father,
And unto Sarah that bare you:
For I called him alone,
And blessed him, and increased him.
For the Lord shall comfort Zion:
He will comfort all her waste places;
And he will make her wilderness like Eden,
And her desert like the garden of the Lord;
Joy and gladness shall be found therein,
Thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
