(A)Who has awakened one from the east
Whom He (B)calls in righteousness to His [a]feet?
He (C)gives up nations before him
And [b]has dominion over kings.
He makes them like (D)dust with his sword,
As the wind-driven (E)chaff with his bow.
He pursues them, passing on in peace,
By a way he had not [c]come with his feet.
(F)Who has worked and done it,
Calling forth the generations from the beginning?
(G)I, Yahweh, am the first; and with the last, (H)I am He.’”

“Who has stirred(A) up one from the east,(B)
    calling him in righteousness(C) to his service[a]?(D)
He hands nations over to him
    and subdues kings before him.
He turns them to dust(E) with his sword,
    to windblown chaff(F) with his bow.(G)
He pursues them and moves on unscathed,(H)
    by a path his feet have not traveled before.
Who has done this and carried it through,
    calling(I) forth the generations from the beginning?(J)
I, the Lord—with the first of them
    and with the last(K)—I am he.(L)
