1 Arise! Shine! Your light has come;the Lord’s glory has shone upon you.
2 Though darkness covers the earthand gloom the nations,the Lord will shine upon you;God’s glory will appear over you.
3 Nations will come to your lightand kings to your dawning radiance.
4 Lift up your eyes and look all around:they are all gathered; they have come to you.Your sons will come from far away,and your daughters on caregivers’ hips.
5 Then you will see and be radiant;your heart will tremble and open wide,because the sea’s abundance will be turned over to you;the nations’ wealth will come to you.
6 Countless camels will cover your land,young camels from Midian and Ephah.They will all come from Sheba,carrying gold and incense,proclaiming the Lord’s praises.
7 All Kedar’s sheep will be gathered for you;rams from Nebaioth will be your offerings;they will be accepted on my altar,and I will glorify my splendid house.
