1  ^bBehold ^cmy ^dservant, whom I uphold,

^emy chosen, ^fin whom my soul delights;

^gI have put my Spirit upon him;

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  a bruised reed he will not break,

and a faintly burning wick he will not quench;

he will faithfully bring forth justice.

4  He will not grow faint or be discouraged¹

till he has established justice in the earth;

and the coastlands wait for his law.
