4The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of disciples,
         That I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word.
         He awakens Me morning by morning,
         He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.

5The Lord GOD has opened My ear;
         And I was not disobedient
         Nor did I turn back.

6I gave My back to those who strike Me,
         And My cheeks to those who pluck out the beard;
         I did not cover My face from humiliation and spitting.

7For the Lord GOD helps Me,
         Therefore, I am not disgraced;
         Therefore, I have set My face like flint,
         And I know that I will not be ashamed.

8He who vindicates Me is near;
         Who will contend with Me?
         Let us stand up to each other;
         Who has a case against Me?
         Let him draw near to Me.

9Behold, the Lord GOD helps Me;
         Who is he who condemns Me?
         Behold, they will all wear out like a garment;
         The moth will eat them.

10Who is among you that fears the LORD,
         That obeys the voice of His servant,
         That walks in darkness and has no light?
         Let him trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God.

11Behold, all you who kindle a fire,
         Who encircle yourselves with firebrands,
         Walk in the light of your fire
         And among the brands you have set ablaze.
         This you will have from My hand:
         You will lie down in torment.
