Ang Panginoon ay makatutulong at tutulong sa nagtitiwala sa Kaniya.

50 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, (A)Saan nandoon ang sulat ng pagkakahiwalay ng iyong ina, na aking ipinaghiwalay sa kaniya? (B)o sa kanino sa mga nagpapautang sa akin ipinagbili kita? Narito, dahil sa inyong mga kasamaan ay naipagbili (C)kayo, at dahil sa inyong mga pagsalangsang ay nahiwalay ang inyong ina.

Bakit, nang ako'y parito, ay walang tao? nang ako'y (D)tumawag, ay walang sumagot? (E)naging maiksi na baga ang aking kamay na hindi makatubos? o wala akong kapangyarihang makapagligtas? (F)Narito, sa saway ko ay aking tinutuyo ang dagat, aking pinapaging ilang ang mga ilog: (G)ang kanilang isda ay bumabaho, sapagka't walang tubig, at namamatay dahil sa uhaw.

Aking binibihisan ng kaitiman ang langit (H)at aking ginagawang (I)kayong magaspang ang kaniyang takip.

Binigyan ako ng Panginoong Dios ng dila ng nangaturuan, (J)upang aking maalaman kung paanong aaliwin ng mga salita siyang nanglulupaypay. (K)Siya'y nagigising tuwing umaga, ginigising niya ang aking pakinig upang makinig na gaya ng mga natuturuan.

Binuksan ng Panginoong Dios ang aking pakinig, at ako'y (L)hindi naging mapanghimagsik, o tumalikod man.

(M)Aking ipinain ang aking likod sa mga mananakit, (N)at ang aking mga pisngi sa mga bumabaltak ng balbas; hindi ko ikinubli ang aking mukha sa kahihiyan at sa paglura.

Sapagka't tutulungan ako ng Panginoong Dios; kaya't hindi ako nalito: kaya't (O)inilagay ko ang aking mukha na parang batong pingkian, (P)at talastas ko na hindi ako mapapahiya.

Siya'y malapit (Q)na nagpapatotoo sa akin; (R)sinong makikipaglaban sa akin? tayo'y magsitayong magkakasama: sino ang aking kaaway? bayaang lumapit siya sa akin.

Narito, tutulungan ako ng Panginoong Dios; sino siya na hahatol sa akin? (S)narito, silang lahat ay mangalulumang parang bihisan; lalamunin (T)sila ng tanga.

10 Sino sa inyo ang natatakot sa Panginoon, na sumusunod sa tinig ng kaniyang lingkod? (U)Siyang lumalakad sa kadiliman, at walang liwanag, tumiwala siya sa pangalan ng Panginoon, (V)at umasa sa kaniyang Dios.

11 Narito, kayong lahat na nangagsusulsol ng apoy, na kumukubkob ng mga suló: magsilakad kayo sa liyab ng inyong apoy, at sa gitna ng mga suló na inyong pinagalab. (W)Ito ang tatamuhin ninyo sa aking kamay; kayo'y hihiga (X)sa kapanglawan.

The Servant, Israel’s Hope

50 Thus says the Lord:

“Where is (A)the certificate of your mother’s divorce,
Whom I have put away?
Or which of My (B)creditors is it to whom I have sold you?
For your iniquities (C)you have sold yourselves,
And for your transgressions your mother has been put away.
Why, when I came, was there no man?
Why, when I called, was there none to answer?
Is My hand shortened at all that it cannot redeem?
Or have I no power to deliver?
Indeed with My (D)rebuke I dry up the sea,
I make the rivers a wilderness;
Their fish stink because there is no water,
And die of thirst.
(E)I clothe the heavens with blackness,
(F)And I make sackcloth their covering.”

“The(G) Lord God has given Me
The tongue of the learned,
That I should know how to speak
A word in season to him who is (H)weary.
He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear
To hear as the learned.
The Lord God (I)has opened My ear;
And I was not (J)rebellious,
Nor did I turn away.
(K)I gave My back to those who struck Me,
And (L)My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard;
I did not hide My face from shame and (M)spitting.

“For the Lord God will help Me;
Therefore I will not be disgraced;
Therefore (N)I have set My face like a flint,
And I know that I will not be ashamed.
(O)He is near who justifies Me;
Who will contend with Me?
Let us stand together.
Who is [a]My adversary?
Let him come near Me.
Surely the Lord God will help Me;
Who is he who will condemn Me?
(P)Indeed they will all grow old like a garment;
(Q)The moth will eat them up.

10 “Who among you fears the Lord?
Who obeys the voice of His Servant?
Who (R)walks in darkness
And has no light?
(S)Let him trust in the name of the Lord
And rely upon his God.
11 Look, all you who kindle a fire,
Who encircle yourselves with sparks:
Walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks you have kindled—
(T)This you shall have from My hand:
You shall lie down (U)in torment.

Israel's Sin and the Servant's Obedience

50 Thus says the Lord:
“Where is (A)your mother's certificate of divorce,
    with which (B)I sent her away?
Or (C)which of my creditors is it
    to whom I have sold you?
(D)Behold, for your iniquities you were sold,
    and for your transgressions your mother was sent away.
(E)Why, when I came, was there no man;
    why, when I called, was there no one to answer?
(F)Is my hand shortened, that it cannot redeem?
    Or have I no power to deliver?
(G)Behold, by my rebuke (H)I dry up the sea,
    (I)I make the rivers a desert;
(J)their fish stink for lack of water
    and die of thirst.
(K)I clothe the heavens with blackness
    and make sackcloth their covering.”

The Lord God has given (L)me
    the tongue of those who are taught,
that (M)I may know how to sustain with a word
    (N)him who is weary.
Morning by morning he awakens;
    he awakens my ear
    to hear as those who are taught.
(O)The Lord God has opened my ear,
    (P)and I was not rebellious;
    I turned not backward.
(Q)I gave my back to those who strike,
    and my cheeks to those who pull out the beard;
I hid not my face
    from disgrace and spitting.

But the Lord God helps me;
    therefore I have not been disgraced;
(R)therefore I have set my face like a flint,
    and I know that I shall not be put to shame.
    (S)He who vindicates me is near.
Who will contend with me?
    Let us stand up together.
Who is my adversary?
    Let him come near to me.
(T)Behold, the Lord God helps me;
    who will declare me guilty?
Behold, all of them will wear out like a garment;
    the moth will eat them up.

10 Who among you fears the Lord
    and obeys (U)the voice of his servant?
(V)Let him who walks in darkness
    and has no light
trust in the name of the Lord
    and rely on his God.
11 Behold, all you who kindle a fire,
    who equip yourselves with burning torches!
Walk by the light of your fire,
    and by the torches that you have kindled!
(W)This you have from my hand:
    you shall lie down in torment.
