6  “I am the Lord; I have called you¹ in righteousness;

I will take you by the hand and keep you;

ⁱI will give you as a covenant for the people,

a ^jlight for the nations,

7  ^kto open the eyes that are blind,

^lto bring out the prisoners from the dungeon,

from the prison those who sit in darkness.

6  he says:

“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant

to raise up the tribes of Jacob

and to bring back the preserved of Israel;

ⁿI will make you as a ^olight for the nations,

that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”
