Daily Bible GNT October 1 Verses

The LORD's Servant

Isaiah 42 The LORD says,

"Here is my servant, whom I strengthen--

the one I have chosen, with whom I am pleased.

I have filled him with my Spirit,

and he will bring justice to every nation.

²He will not shout or raise his voice

or make loud speeches in the streets.

³He will not break off a bent reed

nor put out a flickering lamp.

He will bring lasting justice to all.

⁴He will not lose hope or courage;

he will establish justice on the earth.

Distant lands eagerly wait for his teaching."

⁵God created the heavens and stretched them out;

he fashioned the earth and all that lives there;

he gave life and breath to all its people.

And now the LORD God says to his servant,

⁶"I, the LORD, have called you and given you power

to see that justice is done on earth.

Through you I will make a covenant with all peoples;

through you I will bring light to the nations.

⁷You will open the eyes of the blind

and set free those who sit in dark prisons.

⁸"I alone am the LORD your God.

No other god may share my glory;

I will not let idols share my praise.

⁹The things I predicted have now come true.

Now I will tell you of new things

even before they begin to happen."

A Song of Praise

¹⁰Sing a new song to the LORD;

sing his praise, all the world!

Praise him, you that sail the sea;

praise him, all creatures of the sea!

Sing, distant lands and all who live there!

¹¹Let the desert and its towns praise God;

let the people of Kedar praise him!

Let those who live in the city of Sela

shout for joy from the tops of the mountains!

¹²Let those who live in distant lands

give praise and glory to the LORD!

¹³TTe LORD goes out to fight like a warrior;

he is ready and eager for battle.

He gives aTwar cry, a battle shout;

he shows his power against his enemies.
