I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. Then I will lead the blind along a way they never knew; I will guide them along paths they have not known. The blind I will lead on a road they don't know, on roads they don't know I will lead them; I will turn darkness to light before them, and straighten their twisted paths. Sing to God a brand-new song, sing his praises all over the world! And I will make the bad places smooth.
This is what I will do for them. I'll help the blind walk, even on a road they do not know; I'll guide them in directions they do not know. I will smooth their passage and light their way. I will make the blind walk a road they don't know, and I will guide them in paths they don't know. I will lead the blind along an unfamiliar way; I will guide them down paths they have never traveled. I'll turn the dark places into light in front of them, and the rough places into level ground. I will make the darkness become light for them. But now I'm letting loose, letting go, like a woman who's having a baby— Stripping the hills bare, withering the wildflowers, Drying up the rivers, turning lakes into mudflats. I will not desert my people. I will brighten the darkness before them and smooth out the road ahead of them.
I will turn darkness into light before them and make straight their winding roads. And I shall lead out the blind by the way, which they know not, and I shall make them to go on paths, which they knew not; I shall turn their darkness into light before them, and make depraved, or crooked, ways into straight ways; I shall do these things for them, and I shall not desert them. I will indeed do it—they are abandoned no more. I will make darkness in their presence into light and rough places into level ground. These are the things I will accomplish for them. These are things I will do without fail. He will make the darkness bright before them and smooth and straighten out the road ahead.
I will not abandon them. I'll be a personal guide to them, directing them through unknown country. This is my solemn promise. I will turn darkness into light in front of them. These are the things I'll be doing for them— sticking with them, not leaving them for a minute. He will not forsake them. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. I will escort the blind down roads they do not know, guide them down paths they've never seen. I will make the darkness light before thee, What is wrong I'll make it right before thee, All thy battles I will fight before thee, And the high place I'll bring down. These are my promises, and I will keep them without fail.
"I will lead my blind people by roads they have never traveled. And I will lead the blind into the way which they know not: and in the paths which they were ignorant of I will make them walk: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight: these things have I done to them, and have not forsaken them. But I'll take the hand of those who don't know the way, who can't see where they're going. I will guide them on roads they are not familiar with. Along paths they do not know I will direct them. I'll be right there to show them what roads to take, make sure they don't fall into the ditch.
I will make the darkness become light for them, and the rough ground smooth. Then I will lead the blind along a way they never knew. These things I will do [for them], And I will not leave them abandoned or undone. Let the sea and its fish give a round of applause, with all the far-flung islands joining in. God steps out like he means business. In paths they have not known, I will guide them. And I will lead the blind in a way that they know not, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. These are the things I will do and I will not leave them. Their road is dark and rough, but I will give light to keep them from stumbling. And I will bring the ivrim (blind) by a derech that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known; I will make choshech into ohr before them, and crooked things straight.
These are my promises: I made them, I will not forsake them. I will lead blind Israel down a new path, guiding them along an unfamiliar way. And I will make the rough ground smooth. Ahead of them I will turn darkness into light and rough places into level ground.
I will do these things, and I will not forsake them. And I have caused the blind to go, In a way they have not known, In paths they have not known I cause them to tread, I make a dark place before them become light, And unlevelled places become a plain, These [are] the things I have done to them, And I have not forsaken them. I will turn the darkness in front of them into light, and level out the rough ground. I will turn darkness before them to light and the rough places smooth.
I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. He shouts, announcing his arrival; he takes charge and his enemies fall into line: "I've been quiet long enough. Let the desert and its camps raise a tune, calling the Kedar nomads to join in. Make God's glory resound; echo his praises from coast to coast.
