The Servant of the Lord
My Elect One in whom My soul bdelights!
cI have put My Spirit upon Him;
He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
And1 smoking flax He will not quench;
He will bring forth justice for truth.
Till He has established justice in the earth;
aAnd the coastlands shall wait for His law.”
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 will hold Your hand;
I will keep You band give You as a covenant to the people,
As ca light to the Gentiles,
To bbring out prisoners from the prison,
Those who sit in cdarkness from the prison house.
And My aglory I will not give to another,
Nor My praise to carved images.
And new things I declare;
Before they spring forth I tell you of them.”
Praise to the Lord
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!
The villages that Kedar inhabits.
Let the inhabitants of Sela sing,
Let them shout from the top of the mountains.

Isaiah 42:1
Behold - The prophet having given one eminent instance of God's certain fore - knowledge, in the deliverance of the Jews by Cyrus, now adds another more eminent example of it, by foretelling the coming of the Messiah. This place therefore is expressly interpreted of Christ, Matthew 12:18, etc. And to him, and to him only, all the particulars following, truly and evidently belong. Whom - Whom I will enable to do and suffer all those things which belong to his office. Elect - Chosen by me to this great work. Delighteth - Both for himself and for all his people, being fully satisfied with that sacrifice, which he shall offer up to me. Bring forth - Shall publish or shew, as this word is translated, Matthew 12:18. Judgment - The law, and will, and counsel of God, concerning man's salvation. Gentiles - Not only to the Jews, but to the Heathen nations.
