- 1Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye peoples, from far: Jehovah hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name:
- 2and he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me: and he hath made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he kept me close:
- 3and he said unto me, Thou art my servant; Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
- 4But I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nought and vanity; yet surely the justice [supplied: due] to me is with Jehovah, and my recompense with my God.
