Arise,
shine;
for thy light
is come,
and the glory
of the LORD
is risen
upon thee.
For, behold, the darkness
shall cover
the earth,
and gross darkness
the people:
but the LORD
shall arise
upon thee, and his glory
shall be seen
upon thee.
And the Gentiles
shall come
to thy light,
and kings
to the brightness
of thy rising.
Lift up
thine eyes
round about,
and see:
all they gather themselves together,
they come
to thee: thy sons
shall come
from far,
and thy daughters
shall be nursed
at thy side.
Then thou shalt see,
and flow together,
and thine heart
shall fear,
and be enlarged;
because the abundance
of the sea
shall be converted
unto thee, the forces
of the Gentiles
shall come
unto thee.
The multitude
of camels
shall cover
thee, the dromedaries
of Midian
and Ephah;
all they from Sheba
shall come:
they shall bring
gold
and incense;
and they shall shew forth
the praises
of the LORD.

All the flocks
of Kedar
shall be gathered together
unto thee, the rams
of Nebaioth
shall minister
unto thee: they shall come up
with acceptance
on mine altar,
and I will glorify
the house
of my glory.

Who are these that fly
as a cloud,
and as the doves
to their windows?
Surely the isles
shall wait
for me, and the ships
of Tarshish
first,
to bring
thy sons
from far,
their silver
and their gold
with them, unto the name
of the LORD
thy God,
and to the Holy One
of Israel,
because he hath glorified
thee.

And the sons
of strangers
shall build up
thy walls,
and their kings
shall minister
unto thee: for in my wrath
I smote
thee, but in my favour
have I had mercy
on thee.
Therefore thy gates
shall be open
continually;
they shall not be shut
day
nor night;
that men may bring
unto thee the forces
of the Gentiles,
and that their kings
may be brought.
For the nation
and kingdom
that will not serve
thee shall perish;
yea, those nations
shall be utterly
wasted.
The glory
of Lebanon
shall come
unto thee, the fir tree,
the pine tree,
and the box
together,
to beautify
the place
of my sanctuary;
and I will make the place
of my feet
glorious.
The sons
also of them that afflicted
thee shall come
bending
unto thee; and all they that despised
thee shall bow themselves down
at the soles
of thy feet;
and they shall call
thee, The city
of the LORD,
The Zion
of the Holy One
of Israel.
Whereas
thou hast been forsaken
and hated,
so that no man went through
thee, I will make
thee an eternal
excellency,
a joy
of many
generations.

Thou shalt also suck
the milk
of the Gentiles,
and shalt suck
the breast
of kings:
and thou shalt know
that I the LORD
am thy Saviour
and thy Redeemer,
the mighty One
of Jacob.
For brass
I will bring
gold,
and for iron
I will bring
silver,
and for wood
brass,
and for stones
iron:
I will also make
thy officers
peace,
and thine exactors
righteousness.
Violence
shall no more be heard
in thy land,
wasting
nor destruction
within thy borders;
but thou shalt call
thy walls
Salvation,
and thy gates
Praise.

The sun
shall be no more thy light
by day;
neither for brightness
shall the moon
give light
unto thee: but the LORD
shall be unto thee an everlasting
light,
and thy God
thy glory.
Thy sun
shall no more go down;
neither shall thy moon
withdraw
itself: for the LORD
shall be thine everlasting
light,
and the days
of thy mourning
shall be ended.
Thy people
also shall be all righteous:
they shall inherit
the land
for ever,
the branch
of my planting,
the work
of my hands,
that I may be glorified.
A little one
shall become a thousand,
and a small one
a strong
nation:
I the LORD
will hasten
it in his time.
