7
For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my
face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8
He is
near that justifieth me; who will
contend with me? let us stand together: who
is
mine adversary? let him come near to me.
9
Behold,
the Lord GOD will help me; who
is
he
that
shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a
garment; the moth shall eat them up.
10
Who
is
among you that feareth the L
ORD
, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh
in
darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the L
ORD
, and stay upon his God.
11
Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass
yourselves
about with sparks: walk in the light of
your fire, and in the sparks
that
ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down
in sorrow.
CHAPTER 51
Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the L
ORD
: look unto the rock
whence
ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit
whence
ye are digged.
2
Look unto Abraham your father,
and unto Sarah
that
bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
3
For the
L
ORD
shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like
Eden, and her desert like the garden of the L
ORD
; joy and gladness shall be found therein,
thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
4
Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from
me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
5
My righteousness
is
near; my
salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on
mine arm shall they trust.
6
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for
the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that
dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness
shall not be abolished.
7
Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart
is
my law; fear ye
not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.
8
For the moth shall eat them up
like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and
my salvation from generation to generation.
9
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the L
ORD
; awake, as in the ancient days, in the
generations of old.

thou not it that hath cut Rahab,
and
wounded the dragon?
10
Art
thou not it
which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way
for the ransomed to pass over?
11
Therefore the redeemed of the L
ORD
shall return, and come with
singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy
shall be
upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy;
and
sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
12
I,
even
I,
am
he that comforteth you: who
art
thou,
that thou shouldest be afraid of a man
that
shall die, and of the son of man
which
shall be made as
