Yesaya 41:5

41:5 The coastlands ¹  see and are afraid;

the whole earth ²  trembles;

they approach and come.

Yesaya 42:10

42:10 Sing to the Lord a brand new song!

Praise him ³  from the horizon of the earth,

you who go down to the sea, and everything that lives in it, ⁴ 

you coastlands ⁵  and those who live there!

[41:5]  ¹ tn Or “islands” (NIV, CEV); NCV “faraway places”; NLT “lands beyond the sea.”

[41:5]  ² tn Heb “the ends of the earth,” but this is a merism, where the earth’s extremities stand for its entirety, i.e., the extremities and everything in between them.

[42:10]  ³ tn Heb “his praise.” The phrase stands parallel to “new song” in the previous line.

[42:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “and its fullness”; NASB, NIV “and all that is in it.”

[42:10]  ⁵ tn Or “islands” (NASB, NIV); NLT “distant coastlands.”
