1Yo, islands, listen up! All you peeps from way out there, the Lord hit me up from the womb and was like, “Your name’s gonna be lit.”

2He gave me a mouth like a sharp sword, kept me lowkey in His shadow, and made me a polished arrow, just chillin' in His quiver.

3He told me, “You’re my servant, Israel, and I’m gonna flex through you.”

4I was like, “Bruh, I’ve worked so hard for nothing, but no cap, my judgment is with the Lord, and my grind is with my God.”

5Now the Lord, who made me from the womb to be His servant, said I’m bringing Jacob back to Him. Even if Israel’s not all together, I’m still gonna shine in the Lord’s eyes, and He’ll be my strength.

6He said, “It’s chill for you to be my servant, raising up Jacob’s tribes and restoring Israel. I’ll also make you a light for the Gentiles, bringing my salvation to the ends of the earth.”

7The Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, said to the one people sleep on, the one nations can’t stand, to the servant of rulers: kings will see and rise, princes will worship, all because the Lord is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel chose you.

8The Lord said, “I heard you at the right time, helped you on the day of salvation: I’ll keep you safe and make you a covenant for the people, to set up the earth and give the desolate their lands back.”

9You’ll tell the prisoners, “Bounce!” and to those in darkness, “Show yourselves.” They’ll vibe along the ways, and their pastures will be all the high spots.

10They won’t be hungry or thirsty; the heat or sun won’t mess with them, 'cause the one who’s merciful will lead them to the water springs.

11I'm about to vibe up all my mountains and make my highways look lit.

12Yo, check it, people are coming from far away: some from the north, some from the west, and others from the land of Sinim.

13Sing it, heavens! Get hype, earth! Let’s break it down, mountains: the Lord’s got his people, and he’s showing them mad love.

14But Zion’s like, "The Lord forgot me, fr."

15Can a mom forget her baby? Like, no cap, she might, but I won’t forget you.

16Check it, I’ve got you engraved on my hands; your walls are always on my mind.

17Your kids are gonna bounce back quick; those who tried to tear you down are gonna dip.

18Look around, peep this: everyone’s coming together to you. I swear, says the Lord, you’ll rock them all like a bride with her bling.

19Your empty spaces and wrecked places are about to be too packed with people, and those who took you down will be long gone.

20The kids you’ll have after losing the others will be like, "This spot’s too tight for me: make room so I can chill."

21So you’re like, “Who even gave me these kids? I lost mine and I'm just out here alone, like, where they at?”

22God’s like, “Yo, I’m raising my hand to the nations, and they’ll bring your kids back, no cap. Daughters on shoulders, sons in arms—big vibes.”

23Kings gonna be your dad vibes and queens your mom vibes, bowing down and showing mad respect; you’ll know I’m the Lord, and those waiting on me won’t be embarrassed, periodt.

24Can the stronghold be taken from the boss, or the legit captive set free?

25But God’s like, “Bet, even the mighty captives gonna be freed, and I’m gonna go hard for you and save your kids.”

26I’ll serve those who mess with you their own flesh, and they’ll be lit off their own blood like it’s sweet wine; all flesh will know I’m your Savior and Redeemer, the goated One of Jacob.

1Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The Lord hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.

2And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me;

3And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

4Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the Lord, and my work with my God.

5And now, saith the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, and my God shall be my strength.

6And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

7Thus saith the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the Lord that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.

8Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;

9That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.

10They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.

11And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.

12Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.

13Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.

14But Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.

15Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.

16Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

17Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.

18Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the Lord, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on thee, as a bride doeth.

19For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.

20The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.

21Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?

22Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.

23And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.

24Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?

25But thus saith the Lord, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.

26And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
