The Lord’s Special Servant

42 “Here is my servant, the one I support.
    He is the one I chose, and I am pleased with him.
I have put my Spirit upon him,
    and he will bring justice to all nations.
He will not cry out or yell
    or speak loudly in the streets.
He will not break a crushed blade of grass
    or put out even a weak flame.
He will truly bring justice;
he will not lose hope or give up
until he brings justice to the world.
    And people far away will trust his teachings.”

    my chosen one(B) in whom I delight;(C)

He will not shout or cry out,(G)
    or raise his voice in the streets.
A bruised reed(H) he will not break,(I)
    and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.(J)
In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;(K)
    he will not falter or be discouraged
till he establishes justice(L) on earth.
    In his teaching(M) the islands(N) will put their hope.”(O)
