Isaiah 42:6–12

6 “I am the Lord, I have acalled You in righteousness,

I will also bhold You by the hand and cwatch over You,

And I will appoint You as a dcovenant to the people,

As a elight to the nations,

7 To aopen blind eyes,

To bbring out prisoners from the dungeon

And those who dwell in darkness from the prison.

8 “aI am the Lord, that is bMy name;

I will not give My cglory to another,

Nor My praise to 1graven images.

9 “Behold, the aformer things have come to pass,

Now I declare bnew things;

Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you.”

10 Sing to the Lord a anew song,

Sing His praise from the bend of the earth!

cYou who go down to the sea, and dall that is in it.

You eislands, and those who dwell on them.

11 Let the awilderness and its cities lift up their voices,

The settlements where bKedar inhabits.

Let the inhabitants of cSela sing aloud,

Let them shout for joy from the tops of the dmountains.

12 Let them agive glory to the Lord

And declare His praise in the bcoastlands.
