New International Version NIV
5 Thus says God, ADONAI, who created the heavens and spread them out, who stretched out the earth and all that grows from it, who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk on it:
5
This is what God the LORD says— the Creator of the heavens, who stretches them out, who spreads out the earth with all that springs from it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it:
6 "I, ADONAI, called you righteously, I took hold of you by the hand, I shaped you and made you a covenant for the people, to be a light for the Goyim,
6
“I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles,
7 so that you can open blind eyes, free the prisoners from confinement, those living in darkness from the dungeon.
7
to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.
8 I am ADONAI; that is my name. I yield my glory to no one else, nor my praise to any idol.
8
“I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols.
9 See how the former predictions come true; and now new things do I declare - before they sprout I tell you about them."
9
See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.”
10 Sing to ADONAI a new song! Let his praise be sung from the ends of the earth by those sailing the sea and by everything in it, by the coastlands and those living there.
10
Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you islands, and all who live in them.
11 Let the desert and its cities raise their voices, the villages where Kedar lives; let those living in Sela shout for joy; let them cry out from the mountaintops!
11
Let the wilderness and its towns raise their voices; let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice. Let the people of Sela sing for joy; let them shout from the mountaintops.
12 Let them give glory to ADONAI and proclaim his praise in the coastlands.
12
Let them give glory to the LORDand proclaim his praise in the islands.
