I will make the darkness become light for them, and the rough ground smooth. I will make darkness in their presence into light and rough places into level ground. This is my solemn promise.
I will make the blind walk a road they don't know, and I will guide them in paths they don't know. And I will make the bad places smooth. Those are the things I will do. I'll be a personal guide to them, directing them through unknown country. Then I will lead the blind along a path they never knew to places where they have never been before.

Their road is dark and rough, but I will give light to keep them from stumbling. I will indeed do it—they are abandoned no more. I will not desert my people. I will turn their darkness into light and make rough country smooth before them. And I will make the rough ground smooth. These things I will do [for them], And I will not leave them abandoned or undone. 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.

Sing to God a brand-new song, sing his praises all over the world! And I shall lead out blind men into the way, which they know not, and I shall make them to go in paths, which they knew not; I shall set the darknesses of them before them into light, and shrewd things into rightful things; I did these words to them, and I forsook not them. These things I have determined to do [for them]; and I will not leave them forsaken. 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'll be doing for them— sticking with them, not leaving them for a minute. I will lead the blind along an unfamiliar way; I will guide them down paths they have never traveled. I will escort the blind down roads they do not know, guide them down paths they've never seen. 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 darkness light before them, and crooked places straight.
I will turn darkness before them to light and the rough places smooth. "I will lead my blind people by roads they have never traveled. I will brighten the darkness before them and smooth out the road ahead of them. I've held back, biting my tongue. I'll be right there to show them what roads to take, make sure they don't fall into the ditch. I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. Then I will lead the blind along a way they never knew. I will lead them on unfamiliar paths. I'll turn the dark places into light in front of them, and the rough places into level ground. In paths they have not known, I will guide them.
I will turn darkness into light before them And uneven land into plains. I will not abandon them. SONGLYRICS just got interactive. These are the things I will accomplish for them. 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.

Let the sea and its fish give a round of applause, with all the far-flung islands joining in. 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. Then I will lead the blind along a way they never knew; I will guide them along paths they have not known. Let the desert and its camps raise a tune, calling the Kedar nomads to join in.
