Yahweh the Maker

(A)Drip down, O heavens, from above,
And let the skies pour down righteousness;
Let the (B)earth open up and salvation bear fruit,
(C)And righteousness [a]spring up with it.
I, Yahweh, have created it.

  1. Isaiah 45:8 Or branch forth, cf. 61:11

10 I will (A)rejoice greatly in Yahweh;
My soul will rejoice in (B)my God,
For He has (C)clothed me with garments of salvation,
He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness,
As a bridegroom decks himself with a headdress,
And (D)as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the (E)earth brings forth its branches,
And as a garden causes the things sown in it to branch out,
So Lord Yahweh will (F)cause (G)righteousness and praise
To branch out before all the nations.

Zion’s Glory and New Name

62 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet,
Until her (H)righteousness goes forth like brightness,
And her (I)salvation like a torch that is burning.

12 (A)Sow with a view to righteousness,
Reap in accordance with lovingkindness;
(B)Break up your fallow ground,
Indeed, it is time to (C)seek Yahweh
Until He (D)comes and [a](E)rains righteousness on you.
