Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned.
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness; prepare ye the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Thus saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts: Yet once, a little while and I will shake the heavens and the earth, the sea, and the dry land.
And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come.
The Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.

But who may abide the day of his coming?
And who shall stand when he appeareth?
For he is like a refiner’s fire.

|
And he shall purify the sons of Levi, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.

He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: and he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young;
Come unto him, all ye that labour, come unto him, that are heavy laden, and he will give you rest. Take his yoke upon you, and learn of him; for he is meek and lowly of heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Why do the nations so furiously rage together: and why do the people imagine a vain thing?
The kings of the earth rise up, and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord, and against his Anointed.

The trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

Translation by Salim Khalil, Taghrid Khalil
إِنْ كَانَ اللهُ مَعَنَا فَمَنْ عَلَيْنَا!
مَنْسَيَشْتَكِي عَلَى مُخْتَارِي اللهِ؟
هُوَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي يُبَرِّرُ.
مَنْ هُوَ الَّذِي يَدِينُ؟
هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ الَّذِي مَاتَ
بَلْ بِالْحَرِيِّ قَامَ
هُوَ عَنْ يَمِينِ اللهِ
الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ فِينَا
English Translation:
If God be for us, who can be against us?;
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect?
It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth?
It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is at the right hand of God, who makes intercession for us.

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, and hath redeemed us to God by his blood, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
Blessing, and honour, glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
Amen.
