49 Listen to me, all of you in far-off lands: The Lord called me before my birth. From within the womb he called me by my name. God will make my words of judgment sharp as swords. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand; I am like a sharp arrow in his quiver.

(D)He made my mouth like a sharp sword;
    (E)in the shadow of his hand he hid me;

主的仆人

49 众海岛啊,听我说!

远方的众民啊,要留心听!
我还没有出生,
耶和华就呼召我;
我还没有离开母腹,
祂就点我的名。
祂使我的口像利剑,
用祂的手护庇我;
祂使我成为磨亮的箭,
把我藏在祂的箭囊中。
祂对我说:“以色列啊,
你是我的仆人,
我要借着你彰显我的荣耀。”
