Isaiah 42:10-12

Context

42:10 Sing to the Lord a brand new song!

Praise him¹ from the horizon of the earth,

you who go down to the sea, and everything that lives in it,²

you coastlands³ and those who live there!

42:11 Let the desert and its cities shout out,

the towns where the nomads of Kedar live!

Let the residents of Sela shout joyfully;

let them shout loudly from the mountaintops.

42:12 Let them give the Lord the honor he deserves;⁴

let them praise his deeds in the coastlands.⁵
