Commentaire sur Isaïe 42:1
הֵ֤ן עַבְדִּי֙ אֶתְמָךְ־בּ֔וֹ בְּחִירִ֖י רָצְתָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י נָתַ֤תִּי רוּחִי֙ עָלָ֔יו מִשְׁפָּ֖ט לַגּוֹיִ֥ם יוֹצִֽיא׃
Voici mon serviteur, que je tiens par la main, mon élu, en qui mon âme se complaît; sur lui, j’ai répandu mon esprit, pour qu’il révèle aux nations ce qui est juste.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
My servant. Most of the commentators refer this expression to the pious Israelites; the Gaon to Cyrus; I to the prophet, who speaks here of himself, as in 49:6.
