The Glorious Return
7 For thus says the Lord:
Raise shouts of joy for Jacob;
sing your praises for the chief of the nations.
Proclaim your praises as you say,
“The Lord has delivered his people,
the remnant of Israel.”
8 Behold, I will bring them back
from the land of the north,
and I will gather them together
from the ends of the earth.
Among them will be the blind and the lame,
expectant mothers and women in labor;
they will return as a vast throng.
9 They will return, weeping uncontrollably,
but I will console them as I lead them back.
I will lead them beside streams of water
along a level path where they will not stumble.
For I am a father to Israel,
and Ephraim is my firstborn son.

7 This is what the Lord says:
“Sing(A) with joy for Jacob;
shout for the foremost(B) of the nations.

‘Lord, save(C) your people,

they will pray as I bring them back.
I will lead(J) them beside streams of water(K)
on a level(L) path where they will not stumble,
because I am Israel’s father,(M)
and Ephraim is my firstborn son.
