Gladness and joyz will overtake them,

and sorrow and sighing will flee away.a

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Awake, awake, put on strength,

O arm of the Lord;

awake, as in days of old,

the generations of long ago.

Was it not you who cut Rahab in pieces,

who pierced the dragon?

Was it not you who dried up the sea,

the waters of the great deep,

who made the depths of the sea a way

for the redeemed to pass over?

And the ransomed of the Lord shall return

and come to Zion with singing;

everlasting joy shall be upon their heads;

they shall obtain gladness and joy,

and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Wake up, wake up!

Arm of the Lord, clothe yourself with strength.

Wake up as in days past,

as in generations long ago.

Wasn’t it you who hacked Rahab to pieces,

who pierced the sea monster?

Wasn’t it you who dried up the sea,

the waters of the great deep,

who made the sea-bed into a road

for the redeemed to pass over?

And the ransomed of the Lord will return

and come to Zion with singing,

crowned with unending joy.

Joy and gladness will overtake them,

and sorrow and sighing will flee.

NLTNew Living Translation

Wake up, wake up, O Lord! Clothe yourself with strength!

Flex your mighty right arm!

Rouse yourself as in the days of old

when you slew Egypt, the dragon of the Nile.

Are you not the same today,

the one who dried up the sea,

making a path of escape through the depths

so that your people could cross over?

Those who have been ransomed by the Lord will return.

They will enter Jerusalem singing,

crowned with everlasting joy.

Sorrow and mourning will disappear,

and they will be filled with joy and gladness.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Awake! Awake; put on strength, O arm of Yahweh!

Awake as in days of long ago,

the generations of a long time back!

Are you not the one who cut Rahab in pieces,

the one who pierced the sea-dragon?

Are you not the one who dried up the sea,

the waters of the great deep,

the one who made the depths of the sea a way

for those who are redeemed to cross over?

So the redeemed ones of Yahweh shall return,

and they shall come to Zion with singing,

and everlasting joy shall be on their heads.

Joy and gladness shall appear;

sorrow and sighing shall flee away!

KJV 1900King James Version

Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord;

Awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old.

Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?

Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep;

That hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?

Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return,

And come with singing unto Zion;

And everlasting joy shall be upon their head:

They shall obtain gladness and joy;

And sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
