⁹ Wake up! Wake up!
    Arm of the Lord, clothe yourself with strength.
Show your power the way you did long ago,
    as you have from ancient times.
You are the one who destroyed Rahab.
    You defeated the Dragon.^[a]
10 You dried up the water that was in the deep sea.
    You made a road through the deepest parts of the sea.
    Your people crossed over and were saved.
¹¹ The Lord will save his people.
    They will return to Zion with joy.
They will be very happy.
    Their happiness will be like a crown on their heads forever.
They will be singing with joy.
    All sadness will be gone far away.
