The Redemption of Zion

52 Awake, awake!
    Clothe yourself with strength,[a] O Zion!
Put on your beautiful garments,
    O Jerusalem, the holy city,
        for the uncircumcised and the unclean won’t enter you.[b]
Shake yourself from the dust and[c] arise,
    and[d] sit on your throne, O Jerusalem!
Loosen the bonds from your neck,
    O captive daughter of Zion.
