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.”

Isaiah 42:6
in righteousness—rather, "for a righteous purpose" [LOWTH]. (See Isaiah 42:21). God "set forth" His Son "to be a propitiation (so as) to declare His (God's) righteousness, that God might be just, and (yet) the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus" (Romans 3:25-26; compare see on Isaiah 41:2; Isaiah 45:13; Isaiah 50:8-9).
hold . . . hand—compare as to Israel, the type of Messiah, Hosea 11:3.
covenant—the medium of the covenant, originally made between God and Abraham (Isaiah 49:8). "The mediator of a better covenant" (Hebrews 8:6) than the law (see Isaiah 49:8; Jeremiah 31:33; Jeremiah 50:5). So the abstract "peace," for peace-maker (Micah 5:5; Ephesians 2:14).
the people—Israel; as Isaiah 49:8, compared with Isaiah 42:6, proves (Luke 2:32).
