Thus says God the Lord,
(A)Who created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it,
(B)Who gives breath to the people on it,
And spirit to those who walk on it:
“I,(C) the Lord, have called You in righteousness,
And will hold Your hand;
I will keep You (D)and give You as a covenant to the people,
As (E)a light to the Gentiles,
(F)To open blind eyes,
To (G)bring out prisoners from the prison,
Those who sit in (H)darkness from the prison house.
