12 A SONG OF THE COVENANT
| |||
Refrain: | I have given you as a light to the nations,* and I have called you in righteousness. | ||
1 |
Thus says God, who created the heavens,* who fashioned the earth and all that dwells in it; | ||
2 |
Who gives breath to the people upon it* and spirit to those who walk in it, | ||
3 |
I am the Lord and I have called you in righteousness,* I have taken you by the hand and kept you; | ||
4 |
I have given you as a covenant to the people,* a light to the nations, to open the eyes that are blind, | ||
5 |
To bring out the captives from the dungeon,* from the prison, those who sit in darkness. | ||
6 |
I am the Lord, that is my name;* my glory I give to no other. | ||
| |||
I have given you as a light to the nations,* and I have called you in righteousness. |
