5ThusH3541 saysH559 GodH410 the LordH3068, Who 1createdH1254 the heavensH8064 and 2stretchedH5186 them out, Who spreadH7554 out the 3earthH776 and its 4offspringH6631, Who 5givesH5414 breathH5397 to the peopleH5971 on it And spiritH7307 to those who walkH1980 in it,6“I am the LordH3068, I have 6calledH7121 You in righteousnessH6664, I will also 7holdH2388 You by the handH3027 and 8watchH5341 over You, And I will appointH5414 You as a 9covenantH1285 to the peopleH5971, As a 10lightH216 to the nationsH1471,7To 11openH6491 blindH5787 eyesH5869, To 12bringH3318 out prisonersH616 from the dungeonH4525 And those who dwellH3427 in darknessH2822 from the prisonH1004H3608.813I am the LordH3068, that is 14My nameH8034; I will not giveH5414 My 15gloryH3519 to anotherH312, NorH3808 My praiseH8416 to 16gravenH6456 imagesH6456.9BeholdH2009, the 17formerH7223 thingsH7223 have comeH935 to passH935, Now I declareH5046 18newH2319 thingsH2319; BeforeH2962 they springH6779 forthH6779 I proclaimH8085 them to you.”

10SingH7891 to the LordH3068 a 19newH2319 songH7892, Sing His praiseH8416 from the 20endH7097 of the earthH776! 21You who goH3381 downH3381 to the seaH3220, and 22allH4393 that is in it. You 23islandsH339, and those who dwellH3427 on them.11Let the 24wildernessH4057 and its citiesH5892 liftH5375 up their voices, The settlementsH2691 where 25KedarH6938 inhabitsH3427. Let the inhabitantsH3427 of 26SelaH5553 singH7442 aloudH7442, Let them shoutH6681 for joyH6681 from the topsH7218 of the 27mountainsH2022.12Let them 28giveH7760 gloryH3519 to the LordH3068 And declareH5046 His praiseH8416 in the 29coastlandsH339.
