Isaiah 42:11

⁹ Behold, the former things have happened, and now I declare new things. Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you.”

¹⁰ Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise from the ends of the earth— you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you islands, and all who dwell in them.

Let the desert and its cities raise their voices; let the villages of Kedar cry aloud. Let the people of Sela sing for joy; let them cry out from the mountaintops.

¹² Let them give glory to the LORD and declare His praise in the islands.

¹³ The LORD goes forth like a mighty one; He stirs up His zeal like a warrior. He shouts; yes, He roars in triumph over His enemies:
