41 Listen to me in silence, coastlands,
    and let nations renew their strength.
Let them approach, then let them speak;
    let us draw near together for judgment.
² Who has roused salvation from the east,
    summoned^[a] him to his foot,
gives nations in his presence,^[b]
    and subjugates kings?
He makes^[c] them like the dust with his sword,
    like scattered stubble with his bow.
³ He pursues them and passes on in peace;
    he does not enter the path with his feet.
⁴ Who has accomplished and done this,
    calling the generations from the beginning?^[d]
I, Yahweh, am first;
    and I am the one with the last.
