3 A bruised reed He will not break,
And1 smoking flax He will not quench;
He will bring forth justice for truth.

4 He will not fail nor be discouraged,
Till He has established justice in the earth;
aAnd the coastlands shall wait for His law.”
Till He has established justice in the earth;
aAnd the coastlands shall wait for His law.”
5 Thus says God the Lord,
aWho created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it,
bWho gives breath to the people on it,
And spirit to those who walk on it:

And spirit to those who walk on it:
6 “I,a the Lord, have called You in righteousness,
And will hold Your hand;
I will keep You band give You as a covenant to the people,
As ca light to the Gentiles,
And will hold Your hand;
I will keep You band give You as a covenant to the people,
As ca light to the Gentiles,
7 aTo open blind eyes,
To bbring out prisoners from the prison,
Those who sit in cdarkness from the prison house.
To bbring out prisoners from the prison,
Those who sit in cdarkness from the prison house.
8 I am the Lord, that is My name;
And My aglory I will not give to another,
Nor My praise to carved images.
And My aglory I will not give to another,
Nor My praise to carved images.
9 Behold, the former things have come to pass,
And new things I declare;
Before they spring forth I tell you of them.”
And new things I declare;
Before they spring forth I tell you of them.”
Praise to the Lord
10 aSing to the Lord a new song,
And His praise from the ends of the earth,
bYou who go down to the sea, and1 all that is in it,
You coastlands and you inhabitants of them!
And His praise from the ends of the earth,
bYou who go down to the sea, and1 all that is in it,
You coastlands and you inhabitants of them!
