1. Awake, awake, Zion,clothe yourself with strength!Put on your garments of splendour,Jerusalem, the holy city.The uncircumcised and defiledwill not enter you again.
2. Shake off your dust;rise up, sit enthroned, Jerusalem.Free yourself from the chains on your neck,Daughter Zion, now a captive.
3. For this is what the Lord says:‘You were sold for nothing,and without money you will be redeemed.’
4. For this is what the Sovereign Lord says:‘At first my people went down to Egypt to live;lately, Assyria has oppressed them.
