4 He will not grow weak or be discourageduntil He has established justice on earth.The islands will wait for His instruction.”
5 This is what God, Yahweh, says —who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people on itand life to those who walk on it —
6 “I, Yahweh, have called Youfor a righteous purpose, and I will hold You by Your hand. I will keep You and appoint Youto be a covenant for the people and a light to the nations,
7 in order to open blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the dungeon, and those sitting in darkness from the prison house.
8 I am Yahweh, that is My name;I will not give My glory to another or My praise to idols.
9 The past events have indeed happened.Now I declare new events; I announce them to you before they occur.”
10 Sing a new song to the Lord; sing His praise from the ends of the earth,you who go down to the sea with all that fills it, you islands with your inhabitants.
