42.1 :I have put My spirit upon him,
 * He shall make the right to go forth to the nations.
 * He shall not cry, nor lift up,
 * Nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
 * A bruised reed shall he not break,
 * And the dimly burning wick shall he not quench;
 * He shall make the right to go forth according to the truth.
 * He shall not fail nor be crushed,
 * Till he have set the right in the earth;
 * And the isles shall wait for his teaching.


 * Thus saith God the ,
 * He that created the heavens, and stretched them forth,
 * 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 have called thee in righteousness,
 * And have taken hold of thy hand,
 * And kept thee, and set thee for a covenant of the people,
 * For a light of the nations;
 * To open the blind eyes,
 * To bring out the prisoners from the dungeon,
 * And them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
 * I am the, that is My name;
 * And My glory will I not give to another,
 * Neither My praise to graven images.
 * Behold, the former things are come to pass,
 * And new things do I declare;
 * Before they spring forth I tell you of them.
 * Sing unto the 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 wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice,
 * The villages that Kedar doth inhabit;
 * Let the inhabitants of Sela exult,
 * Let them shout from the top of the mountains.
 * Let them give glory unto the ,
 * And declare His praise in the islands.
 * The will go forth as a mighty man,
 * He will stir up jealousy like a man of war;
 * He will cry, yea, He will shout aloud,
 * He will prove Himself mighty against His enemies.


 * I have long time held My peace,
 * I have been still, and refrained Myself;
 * Now will I cry like a travailing woman,
 * Gasping and panting at once.
 * I will make waste mountains and hills,
 * And dry up all their herbs;
 * And I will make the rivers islands,
 * And will dry up the pools.
 * And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not,
 * In paths that they knew not will I lead them;
 * I will make darkness light before them, and rugged places plain.
 * These things will I do,
 * And I will not leave them undone.
 * They shall be turned back, greatly ashamed,
