The Glory of Zion

60 “Arise,d shine, for your lighte has come,

and the gloryf of the Lord rises upon you.

2 See, darknessg covers the earth

and thick darknessh is over the peoples,

but the Lord rises upon you

and his glory appears over you.

3 Nationsi will come to your light,j

and kingsk to the brightness of your dawn.

4 “Lift up your eyes and look about you:

All assemblel and come to you;

your sons come from afar,m

and your daughtersn are carried on the hip.o

5 Then you will look and be radiant,p

your heart will throb and swell with joy;q

the wealthr on the seas will be brought to you,

to you the riches of the nations will come.

6 Herds of camelss will cover your land,

young camels of Midiant and Ephah.u

And all from Shebav will come,

bearing gold and incensew

and proclaiming the praisex of the Lord.

7 All Kedar’sy flocks will be gathered to you,

the rams of Nebaioth will serve you;

they will be accepted as offeringsz on my altar,a

and I will adorn my glorious temple.b

8 “Who are thesec that fly along like clouds,d

like doves to their nests?

9 Surely the islandse look to me;

in the lead are the ships of Tarshish,a f

bringingg your children from afar,

with their silver and gold,h

to the honori of the Lord your God,

the Holy Onej of Israel,

for he has endowed you with splendor.k

10 “Foreignersl will rebuild your walls,

and their kingsm will serve you.

Though in anger I struck you,

in favorn I will show you compassion.o
