1 Arise, Jerusalem, and shine like the sun;The glory of the Lord is shining on you!
2 Other nations will be covered by darkness,But on you the light of the Lord will shine;The brightness of his presence will be with you.
3 Nations will be drawn to your light,And kings to the dawning of your new day.
4 Look around you and see what is happening:Your people are gathering to come home!Your sons will come from far away;Your daughters will be carried like children.
5 You will see this and be filled with joy;You will tremble with excitement.The wealth of the nations will be brought to you;From across the sea their riches will come.
6 Great caravans of camels will come, from Midian and Ephah.They will come from Sheba, bringing gold and incense.People will tell the good news of what the Lord has done!
7 All the sheep of Kedar and NebaiothWill be brought to you as sacrificesAnd offered on the altar to please the Lord.The Lord will make his Temple more glorious than ever.
