⁹ Break forth into joy, sing together,
You waste places of Jerusalem!
For the Lord has comforted His people,
He has redeemed Jerusalem.

54 “Sing, O ^(A)barren,
You who have not borne!
Break forth into singing, and cry aloud,
You who have not labored with child!
For more are the children of the desolate
Than the children of the married woman,” says the Lord.

^14 (A)Sing, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem!

¹⁵ The Lord has taken away your judgments,
He has cast out your enemy.
^(A)The King of Israel, the Lord, ^(B)is in your midst;
You shall ^[a]see disaster no more.
