6. I, the Lord, have called you for justice,I have grasped you by the hand;I formed you, and set youas a covenant for the people,a light for the nations,
7. To open the eyes of the blind,to bring out prisoners from confinement,and from the dungeon, those who live in darkness.
8. I am the Lord, Lord is my name;my glory I give to no other,nor my praise to idols.
9. See, the earlier things have come to pass,new ones I now declare;Before they spring forthI announce them to you.
10. Sing to the Lord a new song,his praise from the ends of the earth:Let the sea and what fills it resound,the coastlands, and those who dwell in them.
11. Let the wilderness and its cities cry out,the villages where Kedar dwells;Let the inhabitants of Sela exult,and shout from the top of the mountains.
12. Let them give glory to the Lord,and utter his praise in the coastlands.
13. The Lord goes forth like a warrior,like a man of war he stirs up his fury;He shouts out his battle cry,against his enemies he shows his might:
14. For a long time I have kept silent,I have said nothing, holding myself back;Now I cry out like a woman in labor,gasping and panting.
