Isa 42 10-17


Sing Yahweh a new song,
his praise from the end of the earth,
You who go down to the sea, and what fills it,
foreign shores and those who live in the m.
The wilderness and its towns are to raise their voice,
the villages where Qedar lives.
The people who live in Sela are to resound,
they are to yell from the top of the mountains.

Yahweh goes out like a strong man,
like a man of battle he arouses his passion.
He shouts, yes roars,
acts as a strong man against his enemies.
‘I’ve been quiet from of old;
I’ve been being still and restraining myself.
Like a woman giving birth I shall shriek,
I shall devastate and crush together.
I shall waste mountains and hills,
wither all their growth.
I shall turn rivers into shores,
wither wetland.
I shall enable blind people to go by a way they haven’t known,
lead them on paths they haven’t known.
I shall make the darkness in front of them into light,
rough places into level ground.
These are the words I am acting on,
and I will not abandon them.’


They’re turning back, they’re utterly shamed,
the people who trust in an image,
Who say to an idol,
‘You’re our god.’

God be in head and in my understanding;
God be in my eyes and in my looking;
God be in my mouth and in my speaking;
God be in my heart and in my thinking;
God be at my end and at my departing.
