9 remember the former things, those long ago:I am God, there is no other;I am God, there is none like me.
10 At the beginning I declare the outcome;from of old, things not yet done.I say that my plan shall stand,I accomplish my every desire.
11 I summon from the east a bird of prey,from a distant land, one to carry out my plan.Yes, I have spoken, I will accomplish it;I have planned it, and I will do it.
12 Listen to me, you fainthearted,far from the victory of justice:
13 I am bringing on that victory, it is not far off,my salvation shall not tarry;I will put salvation within Zion,give to Israel my glory.
