This is what the Lord says:

“Be happy and sing for the people of Jacob.
    Shout for Israel, the greatest of the nations.
Sing your praises and shout this:
    Lord, save your people,
    those who are left alive from the nation of Israel!’
Look, I will soon bring Israel from the country in the north,
    and I will gather them from the faraway places on earth.
Some of the people are blind and crippled.
    Some of the women are pregnant, and some are ready to give birth.
    A great many people will come back.
They will be crying as they come,
    but they will pray as I bring them back.
I will lead those people by streams of water
    on an even road where they will not stumble.
I am Israel’s father,
    and Israel is my firstborn son.

This is what the Lord says:

“Sing(A) with joy for Jacob;
    shout for the foremost(B) of the nations.
Make your praises heard, and say,
    Lord, save(C) your people,
    the remnant(D) of Israel.’
See, I will bring them from the land of the north(E)
    and gather(F) them from the ends of the earth.
Among them will be the blind(G) and the lame,(H)
    expectant mothers and women in labor;
    a great throng will return.
They will come with weeping;(I)
    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.
