1  ^wArise, shine, for your light has come,

and the glory of the Lord has ^xrisen upon you.

2  For behold, darkness shall cover the earth,

and thick darkness the peoples;

but the Lord will arise upon you,

and his glory will be seen upon you.

3  ^yAnd nations shall come to your light,

and kings to the brightness of your rising.

11  ⁱYour gates shall be open continually;

day and night they shall not be shut,

that people may bring to you the wealth of the nations,

with their kings led in procession.

14  The sons of those who afflicted you

shall come bending low to you,

and all who despised you

shall ^kbow down at your feet;

they shall ^lcall you the ^mCity of the Lord,

the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

18  Violence shall no more be heard in your land,

devastation or destruction within your borders;

you shall call your ^qwalls Salvation,

and your gates Praise.

19  The sun shall be no more

your light by day,

nor for brightness shall the moon

give you light;¹

but ^rthe Lord will be your everlasting light,

and your God will be your glory.²
