(A)Who has aroused one from the east
Whom He (B)calls in righteousness to His [a]feet?
He (C)delivers up nations before him
And subdues 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 safety,
By a way he had not been [b]traversing with his feet.
(F)Who has performed and accomplished it,
Calling forth the generations from the beginning?
(G)I, the Lord, 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)
