Behold, I am doing a new thing;

now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?

I will make a way in the wilderness

and rivers in the desert.

The wild beasts will honor me,

for I give water in the wilderness,

rivers in the desert,

See, I am doing a new thing!

Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?

and streams in the wasteland.

The wild animals honor me,

the jackals and the owls,

because I provide water in the wilderness

and streams in the wasteland,

to give drink to my people, my chosen,

the people I formed for myself

that they may proclaim my praise.

NLTNew Living Translation

See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?

I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.

The wild animals in the fields will thank me,

the jackals and owls, too,

for giving them water in the desert.

Yes, I will make rivers in the dry wasteland

so my chosen people can be refreshed.

I have made Israel for myself,

and they will someday honor me before the whole world.

Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness,

rivers in the desert.

The animals of the field will honor me,

jackals and daughters of the ostrich,

for I give water in the wilderness,

rivers in the desert,

to give a drink to my chosen people,

this people whom I formed for myself,

so they might make known my praise.

KJV 1900King James Version

Behold, I will do a new thing;

Now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?

I will even make a way in the wilderness,

And rivers in the desert.

The beast of the field shall honour me,

The dragons and the owls:

Because I give waters in the wilderness,

And rivers in the desert,

To give drink to my people, my chosen.

This people have I formed for myself;

They shall shew forth my praise.
