7. You will open the eyes of the blind.You will free the captives from prison,releasing those who sit in dark dungeons.
8. “I am the lord; that is my name!I will not give my glory to anyone else,nor share my praise with carved idols.
9. Everything I prophesied has come true,and now I will prophesy again.I will tell you the future before it happens.”
10. Sing a new song to the lord!Sing his praises from the ends of the earth!Sing, all you who sail the seas,all you who live in distant coastlands.
11. Join in the chorus, you desert towns;let the villages of Kedar rejoice!Let the people of Sela sing for joy;shout praises from the mountaintops!
12. Let the whole world glorify the lord;let it sing his praise.
13. The lord will march forth like a mighty hero;he will come out like a warrior, full of fury.He will shout his battle cryand crush all his enemies.
14. He will say, “I have long been silent;yes, I have restrained myself.But now, like a woman in labor,I will cry and groan and pant.
