“Here
is
My Servant, whom I uphold ,
My
Chosen
One
, in whom My soul delights.
I will
put My Spirit on
Him ,
and
He will
bring justice
to the nations
.
Behold
my servant, whom I uphold ;
mine
elect
, in whom my soul delighteth;
I have
put my spirit upon
him :
he shall
bring forth
judgment
to the Gentiles
.
He will
not cry out
or
raise
His
voice
, nor make
His voice heard in the streets
.
He shall
not cry, nor lift
up,
nor
cause
his voice to
be
heard in the street
.
A bruised reed He will
not break and a
smoldering
wick
He will
not extinguish;
He will
faithfully
bring forth justice
.
A bruised reed shall
he not break ,
and the
smoking
flax
shall
he not quench:
he shall
bring forth judgment
unto
truth
.
He will
not grow
weak
or
discouraged before
He has
established
justice
on
the earth .
In
His law the
islands
will
put
their
hope
. ”
He shall
not fail
nor
be
discouraged ,
till
he have
set
judgment
in
the earth :
and
the
isles
shall
wait
for
his law.
This
is
what
God the LORD says—
He who
created the heavens and stretched them out ,
who
spread out
the earth and
its
offspring
, who
gives
breath to
the people on
it and life
to those
who
walk in
it
:
Thus
saith
God the LORD ,
he that
created the heavens ,
and stretched them out ;
he
that
spread forth
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
:
“
I ,
the LORD ,
have called you
for
a
righteous
purpose
, and I
will take
hold of
your
hand .
I
will keep you
and appoint
you
to
be
a covenant for
the people and
a light to
the nations,
I the LORD have called thee
in
righteousness
, and will hold thine
hand ,
and
will keep thee,
and give
thee
for
a covenant of
the people ,
for
a light of
the Gentiles;
to open the eyes
of
the
blind, to bring prisoners
out of
the dungeon
and those
sitting
in darkness out from
the prison house.
To open the blind eyes
, to bring out the prisoners
from
the
prison,
and them
that
sit
in darkness out of
the prison house.
I am the LORD ;
that is My name !
I
will
not
yield
My glory to another or
My praise to idols
.
I am the LORD :
that is my name :
and
my glory will
I
not
give
to another ,
neither
my praise to graven
images
.
Behold, the former things have
happened
, and now
I
declare
new things .
Before they spring forth I proclaim
them
to
you. ”
Behold, the former things are
come
to
pass
, and new things do
I
declare:
before they spring forth I tell
you of
them
.
Sing to
the LORD a new song —
His praise from the ends
of the earth —
you
who
go down to the sea, and all that is in
it,
you
islands
, and all
who
dwell
in
them
.
Sing unto
the LORD 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
.
Let the desert
and its
cities raise
their voices;
let
the villages of
Kedar cry
aloud.
Let the people
of Sela
sing for
joy;
let them cry
out
from the mountaintops
.
Let the wilderness
and the
cities thereof
lift
up
their voice,
the villages that
Kedar doth
inhabit:
let the inhabitants
of the
rock
sing ,
let them shout
from the top
of
the
mountains
.
Let them give glory to
the LORD and declare His praise in the islands.
Let them give glory unto
the LORD ,
and declare his praise in the islands.
The LORD goes
forth like
a mighty one;
He stirs
up His
zeal
like a warrior.
He shouts;
yes
, He roars
in
triumph
over
His enemies :
The LORD shall
go
forth as
a mighty man,
he shall
stir
up jealousy
like a man
of
war:
he shall
cry
, yea,
roar;
he shall
prevail
against
his enemies .
“
I have kept
silent
from
ages
past
; I have remained
quiet
and restrained.
But
now I
will groan
like a woman in
labor
; I will at once gasp
and
pant
.
I have long
time
holden
my
peace
; I have been
still,
and refrained
myself:
now will I
cry
like a travailing
woman; I will destroy
and
devour
at once.
I will lay
waste the
mountains and hills and dry up all their vegetation.
I will turn
the rivers into
dry
land
and drain
the marshes
.
I will make
waste mountains and hills ,
and dry up all their herbs;
and
I will make
the rivers islands,
and I
will
dry
up
the pools
.
I will lead
the blind by a way they did
not know
; I will guide
them on
unfamiliar
paths .
I will turn
darkness into
light before them and rough
places
into
level
ground
. These things I
will do for
them, and I
will
not forsake them.
And
I will bring
the blind by a way that
they knew
not; I will lead
them in
paths that
they
have
not
known:
I will make
darkness light before them ,
and crooked
things
straight
. These things will I
do unto
them, and not forsake them.
But
those
who
trust in idols
and
say to molten images, ‘You
are our gods !’
will
be
turned
back
in
utter
shame
.
They
shall
be
turned
back,
they
shall
be
greatly
ashamed,
that
trust in graven
images,
that
say to the
molten images, Ye
are our gods.
Listen
, you
deaf ones
; look, you
blind ones
, that you
may see !
Hear
, ye
deaf; and
look, ye
blind, that ye
may see .
Who is blind but My servant ,
or deaf like
the
messenger I am
sending
? Who is blind like
My
covenant
partner
, or
blind like
the servant of
the
LORD
?
Who is blind ,
but my servant ?
or deaf ,
as
my
messenger that
I sent
? who is blind as
he
that
is
perfect
, and
blind as
the LORD's
servant?
Though
seeing many things, you
do
not keep
watch.
Though
your
ears are
open
, you
do
not hear
. ”

thou
observest
not ;
opening
the
ears, but
he
heareth
not.

magnify His
law and make it glorious

well
pleased for his righteousness '
sake;

But this is a people plundered
and looted,
all trapped
in caves
or
imprisoned
in dungeons.
They have
become
plunder
with
no
one
to
rescue
them
, and loot
with
no
one
to
say
, “Send
them
back!”
But this is a people robbed
and spoiled;
they
are
all of
them
snared
in holes,
and
they
are
hid
in prison
houses:
they are
for
a
prey
, and none
delivereth;
for
a
spoil
, and
none
saith,
Restore.
Who among you will pay
attention
to this? Who will listen
and obey
hereafter
?
Who among you will give
ear
to this? who will hearken
and hear
for
the
time
to
come
?
Who gave Jacob up
for spoil, and Israel to the plunderers
? Was
it
not the LORD, against whom we have sinned? They were
unwilling
to
walk in His ways, and
they would
not
obey
His law.
Who gave Jacob for a
spoil, and Israel to the robbers
? did
not the LORD, he
against whom we have sinned? for
they would
not
walk in his ways, neither
were
they obedient
unto
his law.
So
He poured out
on
them
His furious
anger and the fierceness
of battle .
It enveloped
them
in
flames
, but
they
did
not understand
; it consumed
them
, but
they
did
not
take
it to heart.
Therefore
he hath
poured upon
him
the
fury
of
his anger ,
and the strength
of battle :
and
it hath
set
him
on
fire
round
about
, yet
he
knew
not; and
it burned
him
, yet
he
laid
it not
to heart.
