The Lord’s Servant Trusts in the Lord’s Help

Adonay Yahweh will teach me what to say,
    so I will know how to encourage weary people.
    Morning after morning he will wake me
    to listen like a student.
Adonay Yahweh will open my ears.
    I will not rebel, nor will I turn away from him.
I will offer my back to those who whip me
    and my cheeks to those who pluck hairs out of my beard.
    I will not turn my face away from those who humiliate me
    and spit on me.
