11:1 A shoot <02415> will grow out <03318> of Jesse’s <03448> root stock <01503>, a bud <05342> will sprout <06509> from his roots <08328>. 11:2 The Lord’s <03068> spirit <07307> will rest <05117> on <05921> him– a spirit <07307> that gives extraordinary <0998> wisdom <02451>, a spirit <07307> that provides the ability to execute <01369> plans <06098>, a spirit <07307> that produces absolute loyalty <03374> <01847> to the Lord <03068>. 11:3 He will take delight <07306> in obeying <03374> the Lord <03068>. He will not <03808> judge <08199> by mere appearances <05869> <04758>, or make decisions <03198> on the basis of hearsay <0241> <04926>. 11:4 He will treat <08199> the poor <01800> fairly <06664>, and make <03198> right decisions <04334> for the downtrodden <06035> of the earth <0776>. He will strike <05221> the earth <0776> with the rod <07626> of his mouth <08193> <07307> <06310>, and order the wicked <07563> to be executed <04191>. 11:5 Justice <06664> will be <01961> like a belt <0232> around his waist <04975>, integrity <0530> will be like a belt <0232> around his hips <02504>. 11:6 A wolf <02061> will reside <01481> with <05973> a lamb <03532>, and a leopard <05246> will lie down <07257> with <05973> a young goat <01423>; an ox <05695> and a young lion <03715> will graze <04806> together <03162>, as a small <06996> child <05288> leads <05090> them along. 11:7 A cow <06510> and a bear <01677> will graze <07462> together <03162>, their young <03206> will lie down <07257> together. A lion <0738>, like an ox <01241>, will eat <0398> straw <08401>. 11:8 A baby <03243> will play <08173> over <05921> the hole <02356> of a snake <06620>; over <05921> the nest <03975> of a serpent <06848> an infant <01580> will put <01911> his hand <03027>. 11:9 They will no <03808> longer injure <07489> or <03808> destroy <07843> on my entire <03605> royal <06944> mountain <02022>. For <03588> there will be universal <04390> submission <01844> to the Lord’s <03069> sovereignty, just as the waters <04325> completely cover <03680> the sea <03220>.

  From all the dark places of earth’s heathen races, O see how the thick shadows fly! The voice of salvation awakes every nation, Come over and help us, they cry. Refrain The kingdom is coming, O tell ye the story, God’s banner exalted shall be! The earth shall be full of His knowledge and glory, As waters that cover the sea. The sunlight is glancing o’er armies advancing To conquer the kingdoms of sin; Our Lord shall possess them, His presence shall bless them, His beauty shall enter them in. Refrain With shouting and singing, and jubilant ringing, Their arms of rebellion cast down; At last every nation the Lord of salvation Their King and Redeemer shall crown! Refrain

• [Isa 11:9] O’er Land And Sea

  On, like the true and brave; In Him, the strong to save, Our boast shall be; The world for Christ we sing, Our high exalted King, Whose praise from all shall ring O’er land and sea. Firm as the hills above Nor time or change can move, His Word shall be; Where sin and death abound, His truth shall yet resound, And all shall hear the sound O’er land and sea. Soon shall He come to reign, And from the tyrant’s chain The world set free; On realms of deepest night, The beams of Gospel light Shall rise in splendor bright O’er land and sea.

• [Isa 11:9] Roll On, Thou Mighty Ocean

  Roll on, though mighty ocean! And, as thy billows flow, Bear messengers of mercy To every land below. Arise, ye gales, and waft them Safe to the destined shore; That man may sit in darkness, And death’s black shade no more. O Thou eternal Ruler, Who holdest in Thine arm The tempests of the ocean, Protect them from all harm! Thy presence, Lord, be with them, Wherever they may be; Though far from us who love them, Still let them be with Thee.
