He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power.

Though youths grow weary and tired, And vigorous young men stumble badly, Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable.

A voice is calling, “Clear the way for the LORD in the wilderness; Make smooth in the desert a highway for our God.

The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.

Then the glory of the LORD will be revealed, And all flesh will see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”
