Isaiah 42:5-12

5This is what God the Lord says, Who 1created the heavens and 2stretched them out, Who spread out the 3earth and its 4offspring, Who 5gives breath to the people on it And spirit to those who walk in it:6“I am the Lord, I have 6called You in righteousness, I will also 7hold You by the hand and 8watch over You, And I will appoint You as a 9covenant to the people, As a 10light to the nations,7To 11open blind eyes, To 12bring out prisoners from the dungeon And those who dwell in darkness from the prison.813I am the Lord, that is 14My name; I will not give My 15glory to another, Nor My praise to idols.9Behold, the 16former things have come to pass, Now I declare 17new things; Before they sprout I proclaim them to you.”

10Sing to the Lord a 18new song, Sing His praise from the 19end of the earth! 20You who go down to the sea, and 21all that is in it; You 22islands, and those who live on them.11Let the 23wilderness and its cities raise their voices, The settlements which 24Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of 25Sela sing aloud, Let them shout for joy from the tops of the 26mountains.12Let them 27give glory to the Lord And declare His praise in the 28coastlands.
