ISAIAH 42:1-13
-
1 “Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold;
My chosen one in whom My soul is well-pleased.
I have put My Spirit upon Him;
He will bring forth justice to the nations.
2 He will not cry out or raise His voice,
Nor make His voice heard in the street.
3 A crushed reed He will not break
And a faintly burning wick He will not extinguish;
He will bring forth justice in truth.
4 He will not be faint or crushed
Until He has established justice in the earth;
And the coastlands will wait expectantly for His law.”5 Thus says the God, Yahweh,
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 spirit to those who walk in it,
6 “I am Yahweh, I have called You in righteousness;
I will also take hold of You by the hand and guard You,
And I will give You as a covenant to the people,
As a light to the nations,
7 To open blind eyes,
To bring out prisoners from the dungeon
And those who inhabit darkness from the prison.
8 I am Yahweh, that is My name;
I will not give My glory to another,
Nor My praise to graven images.
9 Behold, the former things have come to pass;
Now I declare new things;
Before they spring forth I cause you to hear them.”10 Sing to Yahweh a new song,
Sing His praise from the end of the earth!
You who go down to the sea, as well as its fullness.
You coastlands, and those who inhabit them.
11 Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voices,
The villages where Kedar inhabits.
Let the inhabitants of Sela sing aloud,
Let them shout for joy from the tops of the mountains.
12 Let them give glory to Yahweh
And declare His praise in the coastlands.
13 Yahweh will go forth like a warrior;
He will awaken His zeal like a man of war.
He will make a loud shout, indeed, He will raise a war cry.
He will prevail against His enemies.Isaiah 42:1-13 LSB
