Isaiah 42:1-11

Isaiah 42:1-11

[1] 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.  [2] He shall not cry,  nor lift up,  nor cause his voice  to be heard  in the street.  [3] A bruised  reed  shall he not break,  and the smoking  flax  shall he not quench:  he shall bring forth  judgment  unto truth.  [4] He shall not fail  nor be discouraged,  till he have set  judgment  in the earth:  and the isles  shall wait  for his law.  [5] 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: [6] 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;  [7] To open  the blind  eyes,  to bring out  the prisoners  from the prison,  and them that sit  in darkness  out of the prison  house.  [8] I am the LORD:  that is my name:  and my glory  will I not give  to another,  neither my praise  to 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 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  [11] Let the wilderness  and the cities  thereof lift up  their voice, the villages  that Kedar  doth inhabit:  sing,  let them shout  from the top  of the mountains.
