THIS PEOPLE HAVE I FORMED FOR MYSELF
ISAIAH 43:15-21
I AM THE LORD,
YOUR HOLY ONE,
THE CREATOR OF ISRAEL,
YOUR KING.
THUS SAITH THE LORD,
WHICH MAKETH
A WAY IN THE SEA,
AND
A PATH IN THE MIGHTY
WATERS;
WHICH BRINGETH
FORTH THE CHARIOT
AND
HORSE,
THE ARMY AND THE POWER;
THEY SHALL
LIE DOWN TOGETHER,
THEY SHALL NOT RISE:
THEY ARE EXTINCT,
THEY ARE QUENCHED
AS TOW.
REMEMBER YE
NOT THE FORMER
THINGS,
NEITHER CONSIDER
THE THINGS OF OLD.
BEHOLD,
I WILL DO A NEW THING;
NOW SHALL IT
SPRING FORTH;
SHALL YE NOT
KNOW IT?
I WILL EVEN MAKE
A WAY IN THE WILDERNESS,
AND
RIVERS IN THE DESERT.
THE BEAST
OF
THE FIELD SHALL
HONOUR ME,
THE DRAGONS AND THE OWLS:
BECAUSE
I GIVE WATERS
IN THE WILDERNESS,
AND
RIVERS IN THE DESERT,
TO GIVE DRINK
TO MY PEOPLE,
MY CHOSEN.
THIS PEOPLE
HAVE I FORMED
FOR MYSELF;
THEY SHALL
SHEW FORTH MY PRAISE.
