10  ^hAnd the ransomed of the Lord shall return

and come to Zion with singing;

ⁱeverlasting joy shall be upon their heads;

they shall obtain gladness and joy,

and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

20  ^dGo out from Babylon, flee from ^eChaldea,

declare this ^fwith a shout of joy, proclaim it,

send it out to the end of the earth;

say, ^g“The Lord has redeemed his servant Jacob!”

21  ^hThey did not thirst when he led them through the deserts;

ⁱhe made water flow for them from the rock;

he split the rock and the water gushed out.

12  For you shall not ^ygo out in haste,

and you shall not go in flight,

^zfor the Lord will go before you,

^aand the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
