Daily Meditation
9 Break forth into
joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted
his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
Today’s Reading
Isaiah
Chapter 52
Thy God reigneth!
1 Awake, awake; put
on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy
city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and
the unclean. 2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose
thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion. 3 For thus
saith the Lord, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed
without money. 4 For thus saith the Lord God, My people went down aforetime
into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. 5
Now therefore, what have I here, saith the Lord, that my people is taken away
for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the Lord; and my
name continually every day is blasphemed. 6 Therefore my people shall know my
name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold,
it is I.
7 How beautiful upon
the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth
peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that
saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! 8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with
the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the
Lord shall bring again Zion.
9 Break forth into
joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted
his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. 10 The Lord hath made bare his holy arm
in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the
salvation of our God.
11 Depart ye, depart
ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of
her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord. 12 For ye shall not go out
with haste, nor go by flight: for the Lord will go before you; and the God of
Israel will be your rereward.
