1. Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
2. He will not cry, nor lift up his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
3. A bruised reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: he will bring forth justice in truth.
4. He will not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set justice in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.
5. Thus saith God Jehovah, he that created the heavens, and stretched them forth; he that spread abroad the earth and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
6. I, Jehovah, have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
7. to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
8. I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images.
9. Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.
10. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth; ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
