New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
11 For the Lord has ransomed Jacob
and has redeemed him from hands too strong for him.(A)
12 They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion,
and they shall be radiant over the goodness of the Lord,
over the grain, the wine, and the oil,
and over the young of the flock and the herd;
their life shall become like a watered garden,
and they shall never languish again.(B)
13 Then shall the young women rejoice in the dance,
and the young men and the old shall be merry.[a]
I will turn their mourning into joy;
I will comfort them and give them gladness for sorrow.(C)
