Isaiah 41:1-3

New Living Translation

² “Who has stirred up this king from the east,
    rightly calling him to God’s service?
Who gives this man victory over many nations
    and permits him to trample their kings underfoot?
With his sword, he reduces armies to dust.
    With his bow, he scatters them like chaff before the wind.
³ He chases them away and goes on safely,
    though he is walking over unfamiliar ground.
