Isaiah 42:5–12

5  Thus saith God the Lord,

He that created the heavens, and histretched them out;

hkHe that spread forth the earth, and lthat which cometh out of it;

imHe that giveth breath unto the people upon it,

And nspirit to them that walk therein:

6  I the Lord have called thee in righteousness,

And owill hold thine hand, and will keep thee,

And pgive thee for a covenant of the people, qfor a light of the Gentiles;

7  rTo open the blind eyes,

To sbring out the prisoners from the prison,

And tthem that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

8  I am the Lord: that is my name:

uAnd my glory will I not give to vanother,

Neither my praise to graven images.

9  Behold, wthe former things are come to pass,

And xnew things do I declare:

Before they spring forth I tell you of them.

10  ySing unto the Lord a new song,

And his praise from the end of the earth,

zYe that go down to the sea, and †all that is therein;

aThe isles, and the inhabitants thereof.

11  bLet the wilderness and the cities thereof clift up their voice,

The villages that dKedar doth inhabit:

Let the inhabitants of the rock sing,

Let them shout from the top of the mountains.

12  Let them egive glory unto the Lord,

And eedeclare his praise in athe islands.
