35 1 旷野和干旱之地必然欢喜；

  沙漠也必快乐；

  又像玫瑰开花，

2 必开花繁盛，

  乐上加乐，而且欢呼。

  黎巴嫩的荣耀，

  并迦密与沙仑的华美，必赐给它。

  人必看见耶和华的荣耀，

  我们　神的华美。

3 你们要使软弱的手坚壮，

  无力的膝稳固。

4 对胆怯的人说：

  你们要刚强，不要惧怕。

  看哪，你们的　神必来报仇，

  必来施行极大的报应；

  他必来拯救你们。

5 那时，瞎子的眼必睁开；

  聋子的耳必开通。

6 那时，瘸子必跳跃像鹿；

  哑巴的舌头必能歌唱。

  在旷野必有水发出；

  在沙漠必有河涌流。

7 发光的沙*要变为水池；

  干渴之地要变为泉源。

  在野狗躺卧之处，

  必有青草、芦苇，和蒲草。

8 在那里必有一条大道，

  称为圣路。

  污秽人不得经过，

  必专为赎民行走；

  行路的人虽愚昧，

  也不致失迷。

9 在那里必没有狮子，

  猛兽也不登这路；

  在那里都遇不见，

  只有赎民在那里行走。

10 并且耶和华救赎的民必归回，

  歌唱来到锡安；

  永乐必归到他们的头上；

  他们必得着欢喜快乐，

  忧愁叹息尽都逃避。

The Ransomed Shall Return

35 tThe wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; 

uthe desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus; 

2 it shall blossom abundantly 

and rejoice with joy and singing. 

vThe glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, 

the majesty of wCarmel and xSharon. 

yThey shall see the glory of the Lord, 

the majesty of our God. 

3 zStrengthen the weak hands, 

and make firm the feeble knees. 

4 Say to those who have an anxious heart, 

“Be strong; fear not! 

aBehold, your God 

will come with vengeance, 

with the recompense of God. 

He will come and save you.” 

5 bThen the eyes of the blind shall be opened, 

and the ears of the deaf unstopped; 

6 bthen shall the lame man leap like a deer, 

and the tongue of the mute sing for joy. 

cFor waters break forth in the wilderness, 

and streams in the desert; 

7 dthe burning sand shall become a pool, 

and the thirsty ground springs of water; 

in the haunt of ejackals, where they lie down, 

the grass shall become reeds and rushes. 

8 fAnd a highway shall be there, 

and it shall be called the Way of Holiness; 

gthe unclean shall not pass over it. 

It shall belong to those who walk on the way; 

even if they are fools, they shall not go astray.1 

9 No lion shall be there, 

nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it; 

they shall not be found there, 

but the redeemed shall walk there. 

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.
