41 “^(A)Listen to Me ^(B)in silence, you coastlands,
And let the peoples ^(C)gain new strength;
^(D)Let them come forward, then let them speak;
^(E)Let’s come together for judgment.
^2 (F)Who has stirred one from the east
Whom He ^(G)calls in righteousness to His ^[a]feet?
He ^(H)turns nations over to him
And subdues kings.
He makes them like ^(I)dust with his sword,
Like the wind-driven ^(J)chaff with his bow.
³ He pursues them, passing on in safety,
By a way he had not been ^[b]traversing with his feet.
^4 (K)Who has performed and accomplished it,
Summoning the generations from the beginning?
‘^(L)I, the Lord, am the first, and with the last. ^(M)I am He.’”
