aWho created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it,
bWho gives breath to the people on it,
And spirit to those who walk on it:
And will hold Your hand;
I will keep You band give You as a covenant to the people,
As ca light to the Gentiles,
To bbring out prisoners from the prison,
Those who sit in cdarkness from the prison house.
And My aglory I will not give to another,
Nor My praise to carved images.
And new things I declare;
Before they spring forth I tell you of them.”
