Berean Standard Bible
Lo,
My servant, I take
hold
on
him
, My chosen one --
My soul hath
accepted,
I have
put My Spirit upon
him, Judgment
to nations he
bringeth
forth
.
“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.
He doth
not cry ,
nor
lift
up
, Nor cause
his voice to
be
heard ,
in the street
.
He will
not cry out
or
raise
His
voice
, nor make
His voice heard in the streets
.
A bruised reed he breaketh
not ,
And dim
flax
he quencheth
not ,
To
truth
he bringeth
forth judgment
.
A bruised reed He will
not break
and a
smoldering
wick
He will
not extinguish;
He will
faithfully
bring
forth justice
.
He doth
not become
weak nor
bruised,
Till
he setteth
judgment
in
the earth ,
And
for
his law isles
wait
with
hope.
He will
not grow
weak or
discouraged
before
He has
established
justice
on
the earth .
In
His law the
islands
will
put
their
hope. ”
Thus
said
God ,
Jehovah,
preparing
The heavens ,
and stretching
them out, Spreading
out the earth and its productions
, Giving
breath to the people on it ,
And spirit
to those walking
in it .
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 :
I, Jehovah
, did
call
thee
in
righteousness
, And I lay
hold on
thy
hand ,
and
keep thee,
And I
give
thee
for
a covenant of
a
people ,
And a light of
nations .
“
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 ,
To open the eyes of the blind, To bring forth
from
prison
the
bound
one,
From
the
house
of restraint
those sitting in darkness.
to open the eyes of the blind, to bring prisoners
out
of the
dungeon
and
those sitting in darkness out
from
the
prison
house
.
I `
am '
Jehovah,
this
`
is '
My name ,
And
Mine
honour
to
another
I give
not ,
Nor
My praise to graven
images
.
I am the
LORD;
that
is My name !
I will
not yield
My glory
to
another
or
My
praise to idols
.
The former things ,
lo,
have come
, And new things I
am
declaring,
Before they spring up
I cause
you
to hear
.
Behold,
the former things have happened
, and now
I
declare
new things .
Before they spring forth
I proclaim
them
to you
. ”
Sing to Jehovah
a new song ,
His praise from the end
of the earth ,
Ye
who are
going
down to the sea, and its
fulness
, Isles
, and their
inhabitants
.
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
.
The wilderness
and its cities do
lift
up
`the
voice',
The villages Kedar doth
inhabit,
Sing
do
the inhabitants
of Sela ,
From the top
of
mountains
they
cry
.
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
.
They
ascribe
to Jehovah
honour,
And His praise in the isles
they
declare
.
Let
them
give
glory
to the
LORD
and declare
His praise in the islands
.
Jehovah
as
a mighty one goeth
forth.
As
a
man
of
war
He stirreth
up zeal ,
He crieth,
yea
, He shrieketh,
Against
His enemies He
showeth
Himself
mighty.
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 :
I have kept silent from of
old,
I keep
silent,
I refrain
myself,
As
a travailing
woman I
cry
out,
I desolate
and swallow
up
together
.
“
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 make
waste mountains and hills ,
And all
their
herbs
I
dry up ,
And
I have
made
rivers become
isles,
And
ponds
I
dry up
.
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
.
And
I have
caused
the blind to
go,
In
a way they have
not
known,
In
paths
they
have
not known
I cause
them to
tread,
I make
a
dark
place
before them become
light,
And unlevelled
places become
a
plain,
These `are'
the
things I have
done
to
them, And I have
not forsaken
them.
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.
Removed
backward
--
utterly
ashamed,
Are
those trusting
in a
graven
image,
Those
saying
to a
molten image
, `Ye
`
are '
our gods. '
But
those who
trust
in idols
and
say
to molten images
, ‘You
are our gods !’
will
be
turned
back
in
utter
shame
.
Ye
deaf
, hear
; and
ye
blind, look
to
see .
Listen
, you
deaf
ones
; look,
you
blind ones
, that
you
may
see !
Who `
is '
blind but My servant ?
And
deaf as
My
messenger I send
? Who `
is '
blind as
he
who
is
at
peace,
Yea
, blind ,
as
the servant of Jehovah
?
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
?
Seeing many things, and
thou
observest
not ,
Opening
ears, and
he
heareth
not.
Though
seeing many things, you
do
not keep
watch.
Though
your
ears are
open
, you
do
not hear
. ”
Jehovah
hath
delight
for the sake of His righteousness, He
magnifieth
law ,
and maketh
honourable
.
The
LORD
was
pleased,
for the sake of His righteousness, to
magnify
His
law and make
it
glorious
.
And
this `
is '
a people seized
and spoiled
, Snared
in
holes
--
all of
them,
And
in houses
of
restraint
they
were
hidden,
They have been
for
a
prey,
And
there
is
no deliverer,
A
spoil
, and none
is
saying
, `Restore.'
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!”
Who among you giveth
ear
`
to '
this? Attendeth,
and heareth
afterwards.
Who among you will
pay
attention
to this? Who
will
listen
and obey
hereafter?
Who hath
given
Jacob for a
spoil, And Israel to the spoilers
? Is
it not Jehovah
--
He
against whom we sinned? Yea,
they have
not
been
willing
in His ways to
walk
, Nor
have
they hearkened
to
His law.
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.
And
He poureth
on him
fury,
His anger ,
and the strength
of battle ,
And
it setteth
him
on
fire
round
about
, And
he
hath
not known,
And
it burneth
against
him
, and
he
layeth
it
not to heart !
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 .
