6 “I, יהוה, have called You in righteousness, and I take hold of Your hand and guard You, and give You for a covenant to a people, for a light to the gentiles,
7 to open blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the prison, those who sit in darkness from the prison house.
8 “I am יהוה, that is My Name, and My esteem I do not give to another, nor My praise to idols.
9 “See, the former predictions have come, and new ones I am declaring; before they spring forth I let you hear them.”
10 Sing to יהוה a new song; His praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you coastlands and you inhabitants of them!
11 Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voice, the villages where Qĕḏar dwells. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12 Let them give esteem to יהוה, and declare His praise in the coastlands.
