Israel Assured of God’s Help

1 “Keep asilence before Me, O coastlands,
And let the people renew their strength!
Let them come near, then let them speak;
Let us bcome near together for judgment. 
2 “Who raised up one afrom the east?
Who in righteousness called him to His feet?
Who bgave the nations before him,
And made him rule over kings?
Who gave them as the dust to his sword,
As driven stubble to his bow? 
3 Who pursued them, and passed1 safely
By the way that he had not gone with his feet? 
4 aWho has performed and done it,
Calling the generations from the beginning?
‘I, the Lord, am bthe first;
And with the last I am cHe.’ ” 
5 The coastlands saw it and feared,
The ends of the earth were afraid;
They drew near and came.
6 aEveryone helped his neighbor,
And said to his brother,
1“Be of good courage!”
