1 Listen to me, you people who pursue what is right and seek the Lord.
2 Look to Abraham, your ancestor,
3 So the Lord will comfort Zion.
4 Pay attention to me, my people.
5 My righteousness is near.
6 Look at the sky.
7 Listen to me, you people who know righteousness,
8 Moths will eat them like clothing.
9 Wake up! Wake up! Clothe yourself with strength, O Lord!
10 Didn’t you dry up the sea, the water of the great ocean?
11 The people ransomed by the Lord will return.
12 I alone am the one who comforts you.
13 Why have you forgotten the Lord, your Creator?
14 Chained prisoners will be set free.
15 I am the Lord your God who stirs up the sea
16 I put my words in your mouth
17 Wake up! Wake up!
18 From all the children she gave birth to,
19 Twice as many disasters have happened to you.
20 Your children have fainted.
21 Listen to this, you humble people
22 The Lord your God defends his people.
23 I will put it in the hands of those who made you suffer.
