1. Here is My servant, whom I uphold,My chosen one, in whom My soul delights.I have put My Spirit upon him;he shall bring forth justice to the nations.
2. He shall not cry out, nor lift up his voice,nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3. A bruised reed he shall not break,and the smoking flax he shall not quench;he shall bring forth justice faithfully.
4. He shall not be disheartened nor be discouraged,until he has set justice in the earth;and the coastlands shall wait for his law.
5. Thus says God the Lord,who created the heavens and stretched them out,who spread forth the earth and that which comes out of it,who gives breath to the people on it,and spirit to those who walk in it:
6. I the Lord have called You in righteousness,and will hold Your hand,and will keep You and appoint Youfor a covenant of the people,for a light of the nations,
7. to open the blind eyes,to bring out the prisoners from the prison,and those who sit in darkness out of the prison house.
8. I am the Lord, that is My name;and My glory I will not give to another,nor My praise to graven images.
9. See, the former things have come to pass,and new things I declare;before they spring forthI tell you of them.
10. Sing to the Lord a new song,and His praise from the ends of the earth,you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it,the coastlands, and the inhabitants.
11. Let the wilderness and the cities lift up their voices,the villages that Kedar inhabits.Let the inhabitants of Sela sing,let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12. Let them give glory to the Lord,and declare His praise in the islands.
