Isaiah 42:6–12

6

“I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness.

I will hold your hand.

I will keep you,

and make you a covenant for the people,

as a light for the nations,

7

to open the blind eyes,

to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon,

and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.

8

“I am the LORD.

That is my name.

I will not give my glory to another,

nor my praise to engraved images.

Selected verse

Behold, the former things have happened

and I declare new things.

I tell you about them before they come up.”

10

Sing to the LORD a new song,

and his praise from the end of the earth,

you who go down to the sea,

and all that is therein,

the islands and their inhabitants.

11

Let the wilderness and its cities raise their voices,

with the villages that Kedar inhabits.

Let the inhabitants of Sela sing.

Let them shout from the top of the mountains!

12

Let them give glory to the LORD,

and declare his praise in the islands.
