¹Take off your mourning clothes

and oppression, Jerusalem!

Dress yourself in the dignity

of God’s glory forever.

²Wrap the justice that comes from God around yourself like a robe.

Place the eternal one’s glory

on your head like a crown.

³God will show your brilliance everywhere under heaven.

⁴God will give you this name

by which to be called forever:

The Peace That Comes from Justice,

The Honor That Comes

from Reverence for God!

⁵Get up, Jerusalem!

Stand on the high place,

and look around to the east!

See your children gathered

from the west to the east

by the holy one’s word,

as they rejoice that God has remembered them.

⁶They went out from you on foot,

driven along by their enemies,

⁷God has ordered every high mountain and the eternal hills

to be brought down,

and the valleys to be filled in

to level the ground

⁸The woods and every fragrant ftree

have shaded Israel

with God’s command.

⁹God will lead Israel with gladness

by the light that shines forth

from his glory,

with the mercy and righteousness

that come from him.
