1Yo, listen up fam, if you're chasing after what's right and seeking the Lord, remember where you came from, like the rock you were carved from, and the pit you were dug out of.

2Check out Abraham, your OG, and Sarah who brought you into the world; I called him solo, blessed him, and leveled him up.

3The Lord's gonna comfort Zion, for real; He'll turn her wasteland into a vibe like Eden, and her desert will be straight-up garden goals; joy and good vibes will be there, along with thankfulness and sweet tunes.

4Yo, my people, listen up; tune in, my nation: a law's gonna drop from me, and my judgment's gonna shine as a light for the people.

5My righteousness is close, my salvation is out here, and my arms will judge the people; the islands are waiting on me, trusting in my strength, no cap.

6Look up to the skies and peep the earth below; the heavens are gonna fade like smoke, and the earth's gonna get old like a worn-out fit, and everyone living there will kick the bucket too: but my salvation's forever, and my righteousness ain't going anywhere.

7Listen up, you who know what's right, the people with my law in their hearts; don't stress about what others say, or let their shade get to you.

8Moths are gonna munch on them like clothes, and worms will eat them like wool; but my righteousness is forever, and my salvation's gonna vibe through every generation.

9Wake up, wake up, flex your strength, O arm of the Lord; rise up like back in the day, from the old-school generations. Aren't you the one who took down Rahab and wounded the dragon?

10Aren't you the one who dried up the sea, the deep waters; who made the ocean floor a path for the ransomed to walk through?

11So the redeemed of the Lord will come back, singing to Zion; everlasting joy's gonna be on their heads: they'll grab onto gladness and joy, and sorrow and mourning will bounce.

12I, for real, am the one who comforts you: who are you to be scared of a dude who's just gonna die, or the son of man who's basically grass?

13And you forget the Lord, your maker, who spread out the heavens and laid the earth's foundations; why you stressing every day 'cause of the oppressor's rage, like he’s about to end you? Where’s that oppressor's rage now?

14The captive's trying to break free, so he doesn't die in the pit, or run out of bread.

15But I’m the Lord your God, the one who split the sea, whose waves were lit: The Lord of hosts is my name.

16I put my words in your mouth, and covered you in my hand's shadow, so I can plant the heavens, lay the earth's foundations, and tell Zion, "You’re my people."

17Wake up, wake up, stand tall, O Jerusalem, you've sipped from the Lord's cup of fury; you’ve downed the dregs of the trembling cup and squeezed them out.

18There’s no one to guide her among all the kids she raised; no one’s there to take her hand from all the sons she brought up.

19These two things have hit you; who’s gonna feel sorry for you? Desolation, destruction, famine, and the sword: who’s gonna comfort you?

20Your kids have passed out, chilling at the street corners like a wild bull caught in a net: they're filled with the Lord's anger, the rebuke of your God.

21So listen up now, you who are struggling and tipsy, but not from wine:

22Thus says your Lord, the Lord, and your God who fights for his people, "Look, I’ve taken the cup of trembling from your hand, even the dregs of my fury; you won’t be drinking it again."

23But I’ll hand it to those who are messing with you; they said to your soul, "Bow down so we can walk over," and you laid your body down like the ground and the street for them to pass.

1Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.

2Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.

3For the Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

4Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.

5My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.

6Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

7Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

8For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

9Awake, 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?

10Art 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?

11Therefore 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.

12I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;

13And forgettest the Lord thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?

14The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.

15But I am the Lord thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The Lord of hosts is his name.

16And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.

17Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.

18There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.

19These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?

20Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the Lord, the rebuke of thy God.

21Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:

22Thus saith thy Lord the Lord, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:

23But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.
