He will not be (A)disheartened or crushed
Until He has established justice on the earth;
And the (B)coastlands will wait expectantly for His [a]law.”

This is what God the Lord says,

Who (C)created the heavens and (D)stretched them out,
Who spread out the (E)earth and its [b]offspring,
Who (F)gives breath to the people on it
And spirit to those who walk in it:
“I am the Lord, I have (G)called You in righteousness,
I will also (H)hold You by the hand and (I)watch over You,
And I will appoint You as a (J)covenant to the people,
As a (K)light to the nations,
