God’s Word Translation
Isaiah 42:5-12
5The Lord God created the heavens and stretched them out. He shaped the earth and all that comes from it. He gave life to the people who are on it and breath to those who walk on it. This is what the Lord God says:
6I, the Lord, have called you to do what is right. I will take hold of your hand. I will protect you. I will appoint you as my promise to the people, as my light to the nations.
7You will give sight to the blind, bring prisoners out of prisons, and bring those who live in darkness out of dungeons.
8I am the Lord; that is my name. I will not give my glory to anyone else or the praise I deserve to idols.
9What I said in the past has come true. I will reveal new things before they happen.
10Sing a new song to the Lord. Sing his praise from the ends of the earth, you people who sail on the seas and all the creatures that live in them, you coastlands and all who live on them.
11Let those who live in the desert and its cities raise their voices. Let those who live in the settlements of Kedar praise him. Let those who live in Sela sing for joy. Let them shout from the tops of the mountains.
12Let them give glory to the Lord and announce his praise on the coastlands.
