4 The Lord God has given Methe tongue of those who are instructed 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.
5 The Lord God has opened My ear,and I was not rebellious;I did not turn back.
6 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.
7 The Lord God will help Me;therefore I have not been humiliated;therefore I have set My face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame.
8 The One who vindicates Me is near; who will contend with Me?Let us confront each other. Who has a case against Me? Let him come near Me!
9 In truth, the Lord God will help Me;who will condemn Me? Indeed, all of them will wear out like a garment;a moth will devour them.
10 Who among you fears the Lord,listening to the voice of His Servant? Who among you walks in darkness,and has no light?Let him trust in the name of Yahweh;let him lean on his God.
