^2 (A)Who has awakened one from the east
Whom He ^(B)calls in righteousness to His ^[a]feet?
He ^(C)gives up nations before him
And ^[b]has dominion over kings.
He makes them like ^(D)dust with his sword,
As the wind-driven ^(E)chaff with his bow.

45 Thus says Yahweh to ^(A)Cyrus His anointed,
Whom I have taken hold of by his right ^(B)hand,
To ^(C)subdue nations before him
And ^[a]to ^(D)loose the loins of kings,
To open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:
² “I will go before you and ^(E)make the ^[b]rough places smooth;
I will ^(F)shatter the doors of bronze and cut through their iron ^(G)bars.
