1 Thus says the LORD to his anointed, Cyrus, whose right hand I grasp, Subduing nations before him, stripping kings of their strength, Opening doors before him, leaving the gates unbarred: 2 I will go before you and level the mountains; Bronze doors I will shatter, iron bars I will snap. 3 I will give you treasures of darkness, riches hidden away, That you may know I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by name. 4 For the sake of Jacob, my servant, of Israel my chosen one, I have called you by name, giving you a title, though you do not know me.
