“In a time of favor* I answered you,+

And in a day of salvation I helped you;+

I kept safeguarding you to give you as a covenant for the people,+

To rehabilitate the land,

To cause them to possess their desolate inheritances,+

He will bring comfort to all her ruins,+

And he will make her wilderness like Eʹden+

And her desert plain like the garden of Jehovah.+

Exultation and rejoicing will be found in her,

Thanksgiving and melodious song.+
