When he went up to his place on high, he took many prisoners. He received gifts from people, even from those who refused to obey him. The Lord God went up to live on Mount Zion.

My spirit, wake up! Harp and lyre, wake up! I want to sing and make music before the sun rises.

That is why Scripture says,“ When he went up to his place on high, he took many prisoners. He gave gifts to his people.”( Psalm 68:18)

Nations will help Israel return to their own land. Israel will possess other nations. They will serve Israel as male and female servants in the Lord’ s land. The Israelites will make prisoners of those who had held them as prisoners. Israel will rule over those who had crushed them.

I will praise the Lord. Deep down inside me, I will praise him. I will praise him, because his name is holy.I will praise the Lord. I won’t forget anything he does for me.

That is why it is said,“ Wake up, sleeper. Rise from the dead. Then Christ will shine on you.”

When I heard this, I woke up and looked around. My sleep had been pleasant to me.

Wake up! Zion, wake up! Dress yourself with strength as if it were your clothes. Holy city of Jerusalem, put on your clothes of glory. Those who haven’t been circumcised will never enter you again. Neither will those who are“ unclean.”Get up, Jerusalem! Shake off your dust. Take your place on your throne. Captured people of Zion, remove the chains from your neck.

Wake up, arm of the Lord! Wake up! Dress yourself with strength as if it were your clothes! Wake up, just as you did in the past. Wake up, as you did long ago. Didn’t you cut Rahab to pieces? Didn’t you stab that sea monster to death?

How terrible it will be for you, you who destroy others! Assyria, you haven’t been destroyed yet. How terrible for you, you who turn against others! Others haven’t turned against you yet. When you stop destroying, you will be destroyed. When you stop turning against others, others will turn against you.

Maybe they will come to their senses. Maybe they will escape the devil’s trap. He has taken them as prisoners to do what he wanted.

Can goods that were stolen by soldiers be taken away from them? Can prisoners be set free from the powerful Babylonians?“ Yes, they can,” the Lord answers.“ Prisoners will be taken away from soldiers. Stolen goods will be taken back from the powerful Babylonians. Zion, I will fight against those who fight against you. And I will save your people.I will make those who treat you badly eat the flesh of others. They will drink blood and get drunk on it as if it were wine. Then everyone on earth will know that I am the one who saves you. I am the Lord. I set you free. I am the Mighty One of Jacob.”

Wake up, Jerusalem! Wake up! Get up! The Lord has handed you the cup of his great anger. And you have drunk from it. That cup makes people unsteady on their feet. And you have drunk from it to the very last drop.

“ People of Jerusalem, get up. Shine, because your light has come. The glory of the Lord will shine on you.

Harp and lyre, wake up! I want to sing and make music before the sun rises.

You should come back to your senses and stop sinning. Some of you don’t know anything about God. I say this to make you ashamed.
