Isaiah 43 14-21


Yahweh has said this,
your restorer, Yisra’el’s sacred one:
‘For your sake I am sending to Babel,
and I shall take down all of them as fugitives,
the Kasdites into their boats with a shout.
I am Yahweh, your sacred one,
Yisra’el’s creator, your King.’
Yahweh has said this,
the one who made a way in the sea,
A path in vigorous water,
who took out chariot and horse,
force and vigorous one, altogether.
(They lie down, they don’t get up;
they were extinguished, they went out like a wick):


Don’t be mindful of the earlier events,
don’t consider previous events.
Here am I, doing something new;
now it is to grow – you will acknowledge it, won’t you?
Yes, I shall make a way in the wilderness,
rivers in the desert.
The animals of the wild will honour me,
jackals and ostriches,
Because I’m giving water in the wilderness,
rivers in the desert,
To give drink to my people, my chosen,
the people that I formed for myself;

Grant, Lord,
that we may hold to you without parting,
worship you without wearying,
serve you without failing;
faithfully seek you,
happily find you,
and forever possess you,
the only God,blessed now and for ever.
Amen

St Anselm
