Isaiah 42:5-12

5ThusH3541 saith GodH410 Jehovah, he that createdH1254 the heavensH8064, and stretchedH5186 them forth; he that spreadH5186 abroad the earthH776 and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breathH7307 unto the peopleH5971 upon it, and spiritH7307 to them that walkH1980 therein: 6I, Jehovah, have calledH7121 thee in righteousnessH6664, and will holdH2388 thy handH3027, and will keepH5341 thee, and giveH5414 thee for a covenantH1285 of the peopleH5971, for a lightH216 of the Gentiles; 7to openH6491 the blindH5787 eyesH5869, to bringH3318 out the prisonersH616 from the dungeon, and them that sitH3427 in darknessH2822 out of the prison-house. 8I am Jehovah, that is my nameH8034; and my gloryH3519 will I not giveH5414 to another, neither my praiseH8416 unto graven images. 9Behold, the formerH7223 thingsH7223 are comeH935 to pass, and newH2319 thingsH7223 do I declareH5046; before they springH6779 forth I tellH5046 you of them.

10SingH7891 unto Jehovah a newH2319 songH7892, and his praiseH8416 from the endH7097 of the earthH776; ye that goH3381 down to the seaH3220, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof. 11Let the wildernessH4057 and the citiesH5892 thereof liftH5375 up their voice, the villages that KedarH6938 doth inhabitH3427; let the inhabitantsH3427 of SelaH5554 singH7442, let them shoutH7442 from the topH7218 of the mountainsH2022. 12Let them give gloryH3519 unto Jehovah, and declareH5046 his praiseH8416 in the islandsH339.
