You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness beyond Your companions.

and the Spirit of God shall rest upon Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and godliness shall fill Him;

but He shall judge the cause of the lowly, and shall reprove the lowly of the earth; and He shall smite the earth with the word of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips shall He destroy the ungodly one.

Jacob is My servant, I will help him; Israel is My elect, My soul has accepted him; I have put My Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

A bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench; but he shall bring forth judgment to truth.

The Lord, [even] God, gives me the tongue of instruction, to know when it is fit to speak a word; He has appointed for me early, He has given me an ear to hear;

And this shall be My covenant with them, said the Lord; My Spirit which is upon you, and the words which I have put in your mouth, shall never fail from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your seed, for the Lord has spoken it, henceforth and forever!

The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers gathered themselves together, against the Lord, and against His Christ;

But I have been made King by Him on Zion His holy mountain,

He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated, the Christ).

"For truly they were assembled against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel,

Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all those who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.

Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: that the blind regain sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor are evangelized.

and the poor shall rejoice with joy because of the Lord, and they that had no hope among men shall be filled with joy.

And I will leave in you a meek and lowly people;

And it shall be broken in that day; and the Canaanites, the sheep that are kept for me, shall know that it is the word of the Lord.

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

The blind receive sight, and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

Listen, my beloved brothers. Did God not choose the poor of the world [to be] rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those that love Him?

forasmuch as your heart was ashamed, and you were humbled before Me when you heard My words against this place, and against the inhabitants of it, and you were humbled before Me, and you tore your clothes, and wept before Me; I also have heard, says the Lord.

The Lord is near to them that are of a contrite heart; and will save the lowly in spirit.

Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; a broken and humbled heart God will not despise.

He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds.

Thus says the Most High, who dwells on high forever, Holy in the holies is His name, the Most High resting in the holies, and giving patience to the faint-hearted, and giving life to the broken-hearted;

For all these things are Mine, says the Lord; and to whom will I have respect, but to the humble and meek, and the [man] that trembles [at] My words?

and said to him, Go through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that groan and that grieve for all the iniquities that are done in the midst of them.

to hear the groaning of the fettered ones, to loosen the sons of the slain;

[even] them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death, fettered in poverty and irons;

So their heart was brought low with troubles; they were weak, and there was no helper.

And He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their chains in pieces.

For He broke to pieces the bronze gates, and crushed the iron bars.

who executes judgment for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones.

to open the eyes of the blind, to bring the bound and them that sit in darkness out of bonds and the prison house.

I have raised him up [to be] a king with righteousness, and all his ways are right; he shall build My city, and shall turn the captivity of My people, not for ransoms, nor for rewards, says the Lord of hosts.

saying to them that are in bonds, Go forth; and [bidding] them that are in darkness, show themselves. They shall be fed in all the ways, and in all the paths [shall be] their pasture.

Will anyone take spoils from a giant? And if one should take [a man] captive unjustly, shall he be delivered?

For thus says the Lord, If one should take a giant captive, he shall take spoils, and he who takes [them] from a mighty [man] shall be delivered; for I will plead your cause, and I will deliver your children.

Shake off the dust and arise; sit down, O Jerusalem; put off the band of your neck, captive daughter of Zion.

For thus says the Lord, You have been sold for nought; and you shall not be ransomed with silver.

And you, by the blood of your covenant, have sent forth your prisoners out of the waterless pit.

You shall dwell in strongholds, you prisoners of the congregation: and for one day of your captivity I will recompense you double.

He has delivered us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,

The Lord gives wisdom to the blind; the Lord sets up the broken down; the Lord loves the righteous:; the Lord preserves the strangers;

And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and they that are in darkness, and they that are in mist; the eyes of the blind shall see,

and the poor shall rejoice with joy because of the Lord, and they that had no hope among men shall be filled with joy.

And they shall no longer trust in men, but they shall incline their ears to hear.

Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall hear.

And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not, and I will cause them to tread paths which they have not known; I will turn darkness into light for them, and crooked things into straight. These things will I do, and will not forsake them.

Hear, you deaf, and look up, you blind, to see.

Be enlightened, be enlightened, O Jerusalem, for your light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you!

Behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and [there shall be] deep darkness on the nations; but the Lord shall appear upon you, and His glory shall be seen upon you.

But to you that fear My name shall the Sun of righteousness arise, and healing [shall be] in His wings: and you shall go forth, and bound as young calves let loose from bonds.

the people sitting in darkness have seen a great light, and to those who sat in the land and the shadow of death, light sprang up on them."

And as Jesus passed by from there, two blind [men] followed Him, crying out and saying, "Son of David, have pity on us!"

Then He touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith, let it be unto you."

The blind receive sight, and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

And Jesus said, "For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and those who see might become blind."

Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, 'We see.' Therefore your sin remains.

I have come as a light into the world, so that whoever believes in Me may not abide in darkness.

to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of Satan to God, [in order for] them to receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.'

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light--

proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord.

For it is shameful even to speak of those things being done by them in secret.

Therefore He says: "Awake, you who are sleeping, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."

You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.

Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.

Again, a new commandment I am writing to you, which [thing] is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.

He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.

A bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench; but he shall bring forth judgment to truth.

A bruised reed He shall not break, and a smoldering wick He shall not quench, till He bring forth justice to victory;
