The Lord [a]God has given Me the tongue of (A)disciples,
So that I may know how to (B)sustain the weary one with a word.
He awakens Me (C)morning by morning,
He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.
The Lord God has (D)opened My ear,
And I was (E)not disobedient,
Nor did I turn back.
I (F)gave My back to those who strike Me,
And My cheeks to those who pull out My beard;
I did not hide My face from insults and spitting.
For the Lord God (G)helps Me,
Therefore, I am (H)not disgraced;
Therefore, I have made My face like (I)flint,
And I know that I will not be ashamed.
He who (J)vindicates Me is near;
Who will contend with Me?
Let us (K)stand up to each other.
Who has a case against Me?
Let him approach Me.
Behold, (L)the Lord God helps Me;
(M)Who is he who condemns Me?
Behold, (N)they will all wear out like a garment;
A moth will eat them.

  1. Isaiah 50:4 Heb YHWH, usually rendered Lord, and so throughout the ch

The Obedient Servant

The Lord God has given Me
the tongue of those who are instructed(A)
to know how to sustain the weary with a word.
He awakens Me each morning;
He awakens My ear to listen like those being instructed.(B)
The Lord God has opened My ear,
and I was not rebellious;
I did not turn back.(C)
I gave My back to those who beat Me,
and My cheeks to those who tore out My beard.
I did not hide My face from scorn and spitting.(D)
The Lord God will help Me;
therefore I have not been humiliated;
therefore I have set My face like flint,(E)
and I know I will not be put to shame.
The One who vindicates Me is near;(F)
who will contend with Me?
Let us confront each other.[a]
Who has a case against Me?[b]
Let him come near Me!
In truth, the Lord God will help Me;
who will condemn Me?(G)
Indeed, all of them will wear out like a garment;
a moth will devour them.(H)
