7 Thus says the Lord,
The Redeemer of Israel,¹ their Holy One,
^aTo Him¹ whom man despises,
To Him whom the nation abhors,
To the Servant of rulers:
^b“Kings shall see and arise,
Princes also shall worship,
Because of the Lord who is faithful,
The Holy One of Israel;
And He has chosen You.”  ‡

8 Thus says the Lord:
“In an ^aacceptable time I have heard You,
And in the day of salvation I have helped You;
I will¹ preserve You ^band give You
As a covenant to the people,
To restore the earth,
To cause them to inherit the desolate¹ heritages; ‡

10 They shall neither ^ahunger nor thirst,
^bNeither heat nor sun shall strike them;
For He who has mercy on them ^cwill lead them,
Even by the springs of water He will guide them. ‡

11 ^aI will make each of My mountains a road,
And My highways shall be elevated. ‡
