Hearken 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.

Look unto

For 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.

Hearken unto me, my

judgment to
rest for a

Lift

salvation shall be for
ever, and my
righteousness shall not be

Therefore the

Zion; and
everlasting joy shall be upon their
head: they shall
obtain gladness and
joy; and
sorrow and
mourning shall flee
away.
