who pierced
that monster through?
Was it not you who dried up the sea,
the waters
of the great deep,
who made a
road in the depths of the sea
so that the
redeemed might cross over?
The ransomed
of the Lord will return.
They will
enter Zion with singing;
everlasting
joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and
joy will overtake them,
and sorrow
and sighing will flee away.
“I, even I, am he who comforts you.
Who are you
that you fear mortal men,
the sons of
men, who are but grass,
that you
forget the Lord your Maker,
who
stretched out the heavens
and laid the
foundations of the earth,
that you
live in constant terror every day
because of
the wrath of the oppressor,
who is bent
on destruction?
For where is
the wrath of the oppressor?
The cowering
prisoners will soon be set free;
they will
not die in their dungeon,
nor will
they lack bread.
For I am the Lord your God,
who churns up the sea so that its
waves roar—
the Lord Almighty is his name.
I have put
my words in your mouth
and covered
you with the shadow of my hand—
I who set
the heavens in place,
who laid the
foundations of the earth,
