² You have given him his heart's desire, and have not kept back the request of his lips. (Selah.)

⁴ May he give you your heart's desire, and put all your purposes into effect.

⁵ We will be glad in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will put up our flags: may the Lord give you all your requests.

⁴ So will your delight be in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires.

¹¹ My eyes have seen trouble come on my haters; my ears have news of the fate of the evil-doers who have come up against me.

⁸ Make your request to me, and I will give you the nations for your heritage, and the farthest limits of the earth will be under your hand.

⁹ They will be ruled by you with a rod of iron; they will be broken like a potter's vessel.

⁶ It is not enough for one who is my servant to put the tribes of Jacob again in their place, and to get back those of Israel who have been sent away: my purpose is to give you as a light to the nations, so that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.

⁷ The Lord who takes up Israel's cause, even his Holy One, says to him whom men make sport of, who is hated by the nations, a servant of rulers: Kings will see and get up from their places, and chiefs will give worship: because of the Lord who keeps faith; even the Holy One of Israel who has taken you for himself.

⁸ This is the word of the Lord: I have given ear to you at a good time, and I have been your helper in a day of salvation: and I will keep you safe, and will make you a glory for the people, putting the land in order, and giving them the heritages which now are waste;

⁹ Saying to those who are in chains, Go free; to those who are in the dark, Come out into the light. They will get food by the way wherever they go, and have grass-lands on all the dry mountain-tops.

¹⁰ They will not be in need of food or drink, or be troubled by the heat or the sun: for he who has mercy on them will be their guide, taking them by the springs of water.

¹¹ And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways will be lifted up.

¹² See, these are coming from far; and these from the north and the west; and these from the land of Sinim.

²⁵ So that he is fully able to be the saviour of all who come to God through him, because he is ever living to make prayer to God for them.
