"God, teach me lessons for living so I can stay the course. Give me insight so I can do what you tell me—my whole life one long, obedient response."

God's Chosen One

Look at my servant, whom I strengthen.
      He is my chosen one, who pleases me.
   I have put my Spirit upon him.
      He will bring justice to the nations.
  He will not shout
      or raise his voice in public.
  He will not crush the weakest reed
      or put out a flickering candle.
      He will bring justice to all who have been wronged.
  He will not falter or lose heart
      until justice prevails throughout the earth.
      Even distant lands beyond the sea will wait for his instruction.
