Isaiah 42 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
Here Is My Servant
1 BEHOLD my servant, I will receive him: mine elect, my soul hath pleased it-self in him: I have given my spirit upon him, he shall bring forth judgement to the Gentiles.
2 He shall not cry, nor accept person, neither shall his voice be heard abroad
3 The bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench: he shall bring forth judgement in truth.
4 He shall not be sad, nor turbulent, till he set judgement in the earth: and the islands shall expect his law.
5 Thus saith the Lord God that created the heavens, and stretched them out: that established the earth, and the things that spring thereof: that giveth breath to the people, that is upon it, and spirit to them that tread thereupon.
6 I, the Lord have called thee in justice, and taken thy hand, & preserved thee. And I have given thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles.
7 That thou mightest open the eyes of the blind, and bring forth the prisoner out of prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
8 I, the Lord, this is my name: I will not give my glory to an other, and my praise to graven things.
9 The things that were first, lo they are come: new things also I do shew: before they come forth, I will make you hear them.
A New Song of Praise
10 Sing ye to the Lord a new song, his praise is from the ends of the earth: ye that go down to the sea, and you the fullness thereof: ye islands, and inhabitants of the same.
11 Let the desert be exalted and the cities thereof: Cedar shall dwell in houses: ye inhabitants of the Rock, give praise, they shall cry from the top of the mountains.
12 They shall give glory to the Lord, and shall declare his praise in the islands.
