8 I am the Lord;that is my name;I don’t hand out my glory to othersor my praise to idols.
9 The things announced in the past—look—they’ve already happened,but I’m declaring new things.Before they even appear,I tell you about them.
10 Sing to the Lord a new song!Sing his praise from the ends of the earth!You who sail the sea and all that fills it,the coastlands and their residents.
11 Let the desert and its towns shout aloud,the villages that Kedar inhabits.Let the cliff dwellers sing;from the top of the mountains let them shout.
12 Let them give the Lord gloryand declare God’s praise in the coastlands.
13 The Lord will go out like a soldier;like a warrior God will stir up rage.God will shout, will roar;over enemies he will prevail.
14 I’ve kept still for a very long time.I’ve been silent and restrained myself.Like a woman in labor I will moan;I will pant, I will gasp.
