Isaiah 49:1

[The servant introduced in Isa. 42:1 now speaks here himself. Verses 5–6 describe how he is called to restore Israel, which means that the reference to Israel in verse 3b cannot refer to the people in exile, but to the ideal image of Israel personified. The word Israel means "God triumphs," so it may also be a reference to how the Messiah will conquer and triumph!]
Listen to me, you coastal lands,
hear, you distant peoples!
The Lord called me while I was still in my mother's womb,
he named me while I was still in my mother's womb.
