The Lord's Chosen Servant

42 (A)Behold (B)my servant, whom I uphold,
    my chosen, (C)in whom my soul delights;
(D)I have put my Spirit upon him;
    (E)he will bring forth justice to the nations.
He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice,
    or make it heard in the street;
(F)a bruised reed he will not break,
    and a faintly burning wick he will not quench;
    (G)he will faithfully bring forth justice.

17 (A)This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah:

18 (B)“Behold, my (C)servant whom I have chosen,
    my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased.
(D)I will put my Spirit upon him,
    and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.
19 He will not quarrel or cry aloud,
    nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets;
20 a bruised reed he will not break,
    and a smouldering wick he will not quench,
until he brings justice to victory;
21     (E)and in his name the Gentiles will hope.”
