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.
² He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice,
    or make it heard in the street;
^3 (F)a bruised reed he will not break,
    and a faintly burning wick he will not quench;
    ^(G)he will faithfully bring forth justice.
⁴ He will not grow faint or be discouraged^[a]
    till he has established justice in the earth;
    and ^(H)the coastlands wait for his law.
⁵ Thus says God, the Lord,
    who created the heavens ^(I)and stretched them out,
    who spread out the earth and what comes from it,
^(J)who gives breath to the people on it
    and spirit to those who walk in it:
⁶ “I am the Lord; ^(K)I have called you in righteousness;
    I will take you by the hand and keep you;
I will give you ^(L)as a covenant for the people,
    ^(M)a light for the nations,
^{7     (N)}to open the eyes that are blind,
to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon,
    ^(O)from the prison those who sit in darkness.
⁸ I am the Lord; that is my name;
    ^(P)my glory I give to no other,
    nor my praise to carved idols.
⁹ Behold, the former things have come to pass,
    ^(Q)and new things I now declare;
before they spring forth
    I tell you of them.”

29 Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,^{[a]
    (A)}ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
² Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
    worship the Lord in ^(B)the splendour of holiness.^[b]

    the God of glory ^(D)thunders,
    the Lord, over many waters.
⁴ The voice of the Lord is ^(E)powerful;
    the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
⁵ The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
    the Lord breaks ^(F)the cedars of Lebanon.
⁶ He makes Lebanon to ^(G)skip like a calf,
    and ^(H)Sirion like a young ^(I)wild ox.
⁷ The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.
⁸ The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
    the Lord shakes the wilderness of ^(J)Kadesh.
⁹ The voice of the Lord makes ^(K)the deer give birth^[c]
    and strips the forests bare,
    and in his temple all cry, “Glory!”
¹⁰ The Lord sits enthroned over ^(L)the flood;
    the Lord sits enthroned ^(M)as king for ever.
¹¹ May the Lord give ^(N)strength to his people!
    May the Lord bless^[d] his people with ^(O)peace!
