21  Remember these, O Jacob

And Israel; for qthou art my servant:

I qhave formed thee; thou art my servant:

O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.

22  I rhave blotted out, sas a thick cloud, thy transgressions,

And, as a cloud, thy sins:

Return unto me; for tI have redeemed thee.

23  uSing, O ye heavens; for the Lord hath done it:

Shout, vye lower parts of the earth:

uwBreak forth into singing, ye mountains,

xO forest, and every tree therein:

For tthe Lord hath redeemed Jacob,

And yglorified himself in Israel.

24  Thus saith the Lord, zthy redeemer,

And ahe that formed thee from the womb,

I am the Lord that maketh all things;

bcThat stretcheth forth the heavens alone;

cdThat spreadeth abroad the earth cby myself;

25  That frustrateth the tokens of fthe liars,

gAnd hmaketh idiviners mad;

That turneth wise men backward,

And kmaketh their knowledge foolish;

26  That confirmeth the word of lhis servant,

And performeth the counsel of his messengers;

That saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited;

And mto the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built,

And I will raise up the †decayed places thereof:

27  nThat saith to the deep, Be dry,

And I will dry up thy rivers:

28  That saith of oCyrus, He is my shepherd,

And shall perform pall my pleasure:

Even saying qto Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built;

And to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.

45 Thus saith the Lord to ahis anointed, to Cyrus,

Whose bright hand I ||have holden,

cTo subdue nations before him;

And dI will loose the loins of kings,

To open before him the two leaved gates;

And the gates shall not be shut;

2  I will go before thee,

And emake the crooked places straight:

fI will break in pieces the gates of brass,

fAnd cut in sunder the bars of iron:

3  And I will give thee gthe treasures of darkness,

And hhidden riches of secret places,

That thou mayest know that I, the Lord, iwhich call thee kby thy name, am lthe God of Israel.

4  For mJacob my servant’s sake, and mIsrael mine elect,

I have even icalled thee kby thy name:

I have nsurnamed thee, though thou hast onot known me.
