Isaiah 42:5-12

5Thus says God, Adonai, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it, and Ruach to those who walk in it—

6“I, Adonai, called You in righteousness, I will take hold of Your hand, I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, as a light to the nations,

7by opening blind eyes, bringing prisoners out of the dungeon, and those sitting in darkness out of the prison house.

8“I am Adonai—that is My Name! My glory I will not give to another, Or My praise to graven images.

9Behold, the former things have come to pass, Now I declare new things. Before they spring forth I announce them to you.”

10Sing to Adonai a new song, His praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea with all its fullness, islands and their inhabitants.

11Let the desert and its cities exult— the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the dwellers of Sela sing for joy. Let them shout for joy from the top of the mountains.

12Let them give glory to Adonai and declare His praise in the islands.
