Isaiah 42:1-12
[1]The Lord says, “Here is my servant, whom I strengthen — the one I have chosen, with whom I am pleased. I have filled him with my Spirit, and he will bring justice to every nation.
[2]He will not shout or raise his voice or make loud speeches in the streets.
[3]He will not break off a bent reed or put out a flickering lamp. He will bring lasting justice to all.
[4]He will not lose hope or courage; he will establish justice on the earth. Distant lands eagerly wait for his teaching.”
[5]God created the heavens and stretched them out; he fashioned the earth and all that lives there; he gave life and breath to all its people. And now the Lord God says to his servant,
[6]“I, the Lord, have called you and given you power to see that justice is done on earth. Through you I will make a covenant with all peoples; through you I will bring light to the nations.
[7]You will open the eyes of the blind and set free those who sit in dark prisons.
[8]“I alone am the Lord your God. No other god may share my glory; I will not let idols share my praise.
[9]The things I predicted have now come true. Now I will tell you of new things even before they begin to happen.”
[10]Sing a new song to the Lord; sing his praise, all the world! Praise him, you that sail the sea; praise him, all creatures of the sea! Sing, distant lands and all who live there!
[11]Let the desert and its towns praise God; let the people of Kedar praise him! Let those who live in the city of Sela shout for joy from the tops of the mountains!
[12]Let those who live in distant lands give praise and glory to the Lord!
