Truly, you are a God who keeps hidden, * the God of Israel, the Savior.

    They are shamed and disgraced * all together,

       they go away confounded, * the makers of idols.

       But Israel, Yahweh will save you, * save you for all time.

    You will never be ashamed or disgraced * in future ages.

    Yes, thus says Yahweh, * the God who created the sky,

       he who made the earth and shaped it, * he who made it firm,

           who did not create it a desert, * but made it to be lived in:

           “I am Yahweh * there is no other.

       I have not spoken in secret, * in some dark corner of the earth.

    I never told Jacob's sons: * 'Look for me in an empty desert.’

But I, Yahweh, speak the truth, * and tell exactly what will happen.

Gather together and come near, * you survivors of the nations.

    You know nothing, * who carry around your wooden idols,

       and keep on praying * to a god that cannot save you.

       Speak up and state your case, * take counsel with one another.

    Who made this known beforehand, * and foretold it long ago?

       Was it not I, Yahweh? * There is no god besides me.

           I am a just and saving God; * there is no other god but I.

           Turn to me to be saved, * all people throughout the world!

       For I am God; * there is no other.

    By my life I swear, * I announce the victory, * an event that will surely happen.

       To me every knee shall bend; * by me every tongue shall swear.

       They will say: 'From Yahweh alone * come victory and power.’”

    To him will come defeated * all who opposed him.

Through Yahweh will come victory and glory * for the whole people of Israel.
