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.

‘It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant
To raise up the tribes of Jacob,
And to restore the preserved ones of Israel;
I will also give You as a (A)light to the Gentiles,
That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”

And Israel, for you are My servant;

And like a cloud, your sins.
Return to Me, for (C)I have redeemed you.”

Break forth into singing, you mountains,
O forest, and every tree in it!
For the Lord has redeemed Jacob,
And (E)glorified Himself in Israel.
