Pay attention[a] to me,
    come to me;
        and[b] listen, so that you may live;
then I’ll make[c] an everlasting covenant with you,
    as promised by[d] my faithful, sure love for David.

“Look! I have made him a witness to the peoples,
    a leader and commander of the peoples.

“Look! You will call a nation that you do not know,
    and a nation that does[e] not know you will run[f] to you,
because of the Lord your God, even[g] the Holy One of Israel,
    for he has glorified you.”
