Isaiah 48:17 This is what the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says: I am Yahweh your God, who teaches you for your benefit, who leads you in the way you should go.

Isaiah 40:31 those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Jude 1:21 keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

Psalm 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.

Proverbs 3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

May you understand that only the counsel of God will stand, and all other counsels will succeed or fail based on whether they align with God's wisdom or not. 2 Samuel 17

May you obey the Lord and give comfort to His people in distress, supporting them in their need from your abundance, for the Lord does not need your help, but He richly recompenses all that is done for His brethren as though it were done to Himself. 2 Samuel 17

May you speak what God gives you, in accordance with His word, that you may rest in His integrity and rely on His power, for He watches over His Word to perform it, and it is not up to you to make it happen. 2 Samuel 17

May you find your identity in the Lord, through His Spirit of truth, and not in the world or your skills, or even in His gifts or His work, for all will change as seasons come and go, but He will remain the same forever. 2 Samuel 17

May you rejoice and gladly accept that, through the obedience of Christ Jesus, the second man Adam, the long process of redemption that was walked out after the transgressions of the first man Adam has now been finished. John 19

May you gratefully receive the justification which Christ Jesus brought within your grasp and willingly follow the path of sanctification which the Spirit has been sent to lead you along. John 19

   Be all you can, My child, just as I have made you.    Do not compare yourself with others, for I have formed them for other tasks. Do not ask how far you have come, or how far you have to go, but simply look to Me, for then I will draw you.    I have placed you, My special one, where you need to be now, and I will move you, when the time comes, to where I have planned.    Grow and blossom, My fair one, where I have planted you, but wear the world loosely, clinging only to Me, so that when I transplant you, the time of change will be no more than the change of weather.    Times of sorrow come to everyone, so find your happiness in the hope I give you. Seasons of trouble come upon the world, My precious one, so remain patient and endure in the work I give you.    The world system conquers all that it owns, My called-out one, but you are no longer of the world and your prayers have power with Me. Be instant in prayer and persistent in petition to Me for others, for I choose to work through you to reach those who hunger and thirst but are still held captive.    Do not let up, do not cease to pray, do not doubt that I hear and answer. Whisper a prayer for comfort over the one I point out to you as you pass in the marketplace, ask Me to minister to the one I highlight in your heart, write encouragement to the one who I have brought to your thoughts, and speak My love and mercy to one I bring to your door.    Those who are crossing Kidron need to know that, just like you, just like David, just like Jesus, there is victory afterwards, and they will be able to drink the clear water with joy from the well of salvation.

May you long desperately for God's commandments and to draw deeply of the Spirit's breath, for His statutes are wonderful and the unfolding of His Word gives light and understanding to the simple. Psalm 119

May the Lord let no sin rule over you as He turns to you in mercy, directing your footsteps according to His word and redeeming you from the oppression of men as He always does for those who love His name, so that you may obey His precepts. Psalm 119

May the Lord make His face shine upon you and teach you His decrees, for your heart is broken and tears stream from your eyes because God's laws are not obeyed. Psalm 119

May you love the faithful promises of God and the righteous statutes He has laid down, for they have been thoroughly tested and and are fully trustworthy; even though the enemy ignores the Word of the Lord, God is righteous and His laws are right. Psalm 119

May you not forget God's precepts though trouble and distress come upon you, for His righteousness is everlasting, His law is eternally true, and His statutes are forever right; though you feel lowly in your own sight and despised by the enemy, it is because you delight in the Lord's commands that He will give you understanding which will make you prosper. Psalm 119

May you rise before dawn and call out for help with all your heart to the Lord as you obey His decrees and keep His statutes, putting your hope in His word, for He will answer you and save you from your distress. Psalm 119

May you meditate on God's promises when sleep does not come through the night-time hours, for the Lord will hear your voice in accordance with His love, and will preserve your life according to His laws. Psalm 119

May you trust that all of the Lord's commands are true and He has established them to last forever, therefore even when mischief-makers and lawless people come to attack you, you will know that they are far from God's law, and the Lord Himself is near to you; His truth is in your heart and His word even in your mouth. Psalm 119

May you consider wrongdoing to be disgusting and an abomination, even as Jesus, the King of kings, detests it, for His throne is established by righteousness and justice. Proverbs 16:12

May you take pleasure in honest speech and righteous lips, even as Jesus, your King, treasures it, for His kingdom belongs to those who rightly divide the word of truth. Proverbs 16:13

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

2 Peter 1:10 Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall.

John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

Psalm 51:17 My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise.

1 Thessalonians 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

May you not measure your righteousness against others' unrighteousness, but may you always acknowledge the just and righteous God as Lord, accepting from His hand what He has for you. 2 Samuel 15

May you not lay claim to the presence and anointing of God, but allow God to lay claim to you. 2 Samuel 15

When anyone comes against you, may you always value those who are made in God's image, never impugning the value in God's eyes of those for whom Jesus died, but trust God Who has all hearts and tongues in His hand to turn the attack to their redemption and to hold authority over the influence of spiritual wickedness. 2 Samuel 15

When others hurl abuse and slander at you, may you leave the resolution in the hands of God as David did, though you be exhausted by it. 2 Samuel 16

May you trust the Father to see your distress and repay you blessing for the cursing you receive, just as Jesus trusted Him at Calvary, though it brings you to the death of your self. 2 Samuel 16

After all counselors and advisors have spoken, may you not fail to consult the Lord, as Absalom did, for he turned not to the ark of God. 2 Samuel 16

May you mistrust any recommendation that removes the option of reconciliation, for the Lord is a God of redemption. 2 Samuel 16

   Learn of Me, My child, and in all your learning, obey.    Grow in knowledge of the Word, My studious one, and neglect not to walk it out.    Wait before Me in the spirit, My devoted one, for all that I have for you, then once you have My provision, My leading, My guidance, go forth in the understanding and assurance that I am with you.    Rest in My promises as your shelter during the stormy darkness when no man can work, then go forth with joy as calves from the stall when the Son rises with healing in His wings. Walk in My righteousness and speak with My wisdom and act in My love so that others may know that you have been with Me and waited on Me and listened to Me.    As you fellowship with Me in My light, you will take that light with you when you have fellowship with each other, sharing that light. In yourself, there is no light, but as you draw near to Me, the blessed and only Sovereign One, Who alone is immortal and dwells in unapproachable light, the carnal nature diminishes and your renewed mind flourishes as you receive and put on the mind of Christ.    Quiet yourself before Me as a weaned child, adding to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love; for as you learn of Me how to win mastery over your own vessel, you will no longer be ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of Me.    Learn of Me so that you can submit to Me, for then you can be My hands outstretched, open and forth-giving, always about the business of the Father.

May you be more concerned how God views an action than how man will react. John 18

May you desire to know God as the Word and the Spirit reveal him, rather than merely hearing what man has said. John 18

May you ever realize that you are graven on the hands of your Redeemer, inescapably on His mind and in His heart, as He continually makes intercession for you as your Advocate before the throne of the Father, and so be willing to keep your Creator and Savior, your Source and Master, ever in present memory, with thanks, praise and worship without ceasing, for He is deserving and worthy of all adulation and obedience! John 19

May you make the Lord your refuge and shield, putting your hope in His word and shunning the advice of evil and double-minded people, so that you may keep the commands of the Lord. Psalm 119

May you always have regard for God's decrees, which sustain you according to His promise so that you will live, and uphold you according to His power so that you are delivered for, though the Lord rejects all who continually stray from His decrees and discards the persistently wicked like dross, because you love His statutes and stand in awe of His laws, your hopes will never be dashed. Psalm 119

May you do what is righteous and just, for God will not leave you to the mercy of your enemies or abandon you to those who are slanderous, but He will ensure your well-being and bless you as you labor in His service, backing you up by confirming His Word as you speak it into the lives of those He leads to you. Psalm 119

May you ever desire to go deeper in the Lord's on-going process of salvation so that you may receive His righteous promise to deal with you according to His love as He teaches you His decrees. Psalm 119

May your love for God's Word and your respect and awe for His ways prepare you to receive discernment from the Lord so that you may understand His statutes and realize that it is time for Him to act since His law is being broken. Psalm 119

May you speak with truth from God through the wisdom of the Spirit, for then you will not err in respect to justice or judgment. Proverbs 16:10

[trustfallwithgod]

[trustfallwithgod]

May your unfailing love come to me, LORD,

   your salvation, according to your promise;

⁴² then I can answer anyone who taunts me,

   for ever and ever.

⁴⁵ I will walk about in freedom,

   for I have sought out your precepts.

⁴⁶ I will speak of your statutes before kings

⁴⁷ for I delight in your commands

   because I love them.

⁴⁸ I reach out for your commands, which I love,

   that I may meditate on your decrees.

Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for their's is the kingdom of heaven.

John 3:16 For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life.

Psalm 103:17-18 from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children— with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.

Philippians 2:3-4 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Hebrews 4:16 So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

May you know that you have an Advocate with the Father, pleading your case, as the Comforter is working in your heart to bring conviction which leads to repentance, which brings hope and restoration. 2 Samuel 14

May you prefer the wisdom of God's righteousness and the reverent obedience of humility which brings beauty in God's sight to your soul, rather than the outward beauty which, for a time, may cover the deformity of a person's prideful and arrogant heart. 2 Samuel 14

May you have the grace from God to discern the insolence behind the words which come from an unrepentant heart, though couched in subservient terms, lest the bitterness it contains come to fruition with great sorrow and pain. 2 Samuel 14

May you trust in God's provision and patiently wait on God's timing to bring to you the things you need for the tasks He assigns, knowing that He will prepare your heart and make you ready, for He will not be so unloving as to give you authority or power before you are matured enough to act responsibly with it. 2 Samuel 15

May you wear the world loosely, not grasping or defending what you have in your hand, clinging only to God in all circumstances, desiring simply that others not suffer when disputes arise, preferring rather to suffer loss and indignities for a time than to bring reproach to the name of the Lord. 2 Samuel 15, 1 Corinthians 6

May you have the same mind in you as did Jesus, Who withdrew when worldly authority would have been thrust upon Him, but stepped forward when His Father's work was at hand, though it meant suffering, which He endured for the joy of the fellowship which would be attained. John 18

May you have, when needed, the Spirit in abundance so that when others do you injury unjustly, you do not respond with passionate resentment, but reason with them redemptively. John 18

I do not allow the proud or arrogant will to stand before Me, My chosen one, for that is rebellion against Me and rejection of the sovereignty of My Son. He, alone, is the One whom I have set over all kings and kingdoms, and given authority over all powers and principalities. For that cause did I cast down the portion of My angelic creation who adhered to and agreed with the aspirations of Lucifer. Though he sang My praise, he desired My place, and the impurity in his heart became evil in his thoughts and rebellion in his hands. My Son lived as a man to bring redemption to men, and those who come to Me through His blood are purged and cleansed, threshed and winnowed, so that no arrogance, no pride, no self-sufficiency will remain. Look to your heart and mind, humbling yourself lest any seed remain to take root and grow, causing harm and loss of the prize that you strive for. It is My mercy and compassion, expressed through My Son, that cleanses the temple before righteous judgment can bring My wrath. Follow My Spirit Who will lead you in the way you must go, for He knows My mind and His leading is true and sure.

May you love God's law and meditate on it all day long, for His commands make you wiser than your enemies, give you more insight than all your teachers, and grant you more understanding than the elders since you keep His promises ever with you, meditate day and night on His ways, and ever obey His precepts. Psalm 119

May you keep your feet from every evil path so that you might obey His word and not depart from His laws, for the Lord Himself has taught you. Psalm 119

May God's word be a lamp to your feet and a light for your path. Psalm 119

May you not stray from God's precepts nor forget His law, though you constantly face attack from the wicked who set a snare for you, for the Lord will preserve your life, just as He has promised, as He accepts the willing praise from your mouth in the midst of your fight. Psalm 119

May your heart be set on keeping God's statutes to the very end for they are your heritage forever and the source of joy to your heart. Psalm 119

May you walk in righteousness and godliness, though you have few possessions and little gain, rather than dishonesty and injustice, though it brings abundant income and much property. Proverbs 16:8

May what you have come to you in righteousness, be held in righteous claim, be used in a righteous manner, be invested in righteous purposes, and attended with a life of righteousness and holiness of Christ. Proverbs 16:8

May your preparation and planning of your journey and purpose give room for God to direct your steps on the way to your destination. Proverbs 16:9

John 20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as My Father hath sent Me, even so send I you.

Acts 8:38 And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him.

2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.

Ephesians 4:31-32 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. 32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

Galatians 5:22-23 the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

Ephesians 1:3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ.

May you be willing to suffer the greatest wrong rather than to commit the least sin, lest like David, the anguish of chastisement persist. 2 Samuel 13

May you ever feel the love of the Father for those who need it most, who are least prepared to die. 2 Samuel 13

May the friends you choose and the counsel you seek be from those of the household of God, lest the advice you receive and the influence you accept lead you from the path of life and into wickedness and death. 2 Samuel 13

May you bring glory to God on earth by completing the work He gives you to do. John 17

May you reveal Jesus to those the Spirit leads you to, that they may, through Christ, come to the Father as you speak the words He gives you and you pray for those in whom He has placed a hunger for the deep and eternal things of God. John 17

May you not expect to be rich or great in the world, but that you may receive the true and eternal treasure of unity in the affection of the Father and the co-labors with His children, as well as protection from attacks of the enemy, deliverance from the wrath of men, and strength to withstand the corruption of the sinful nature that remains in our flesh. John 17

May you desire, and pray, for the sanctification of holiness through the grace of God which Jesus desired, and prayed, for you, and for which He sanctified Himself. John 17

May you also be in the Father and the Son, so that the world may believe that the Son has been sent by the Father when they see the people who call upon the name of God keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, more and more united in one mind and one desire. John 17

May you be comforted and receive peace with complete assurance that the desire of the heart of Jesus is for you to be with Him in the glory the Father has given Him Whom He has loved before the creation of the world. John 17

The love that I have for you, My child, is strong and enduring, never wavering, always active on your behalf. Give Me first place in your heart, My dear one, and My love will flow out to all the others I have placed in your life – in your family, at your work, around your neighborhood. If you love yourself more than Me, you will care for others less, for you will be out of balance. If you regard anyone over Me, you will not have proper respect for yourself, for they cannot give you the strength of life you need. Honor Me highest, fear Me most, love Me first, and I will keep all things in balance in your relationships, and you will find you have power with Me in your prayers for others in need, and authority in My name on the behalf of those in warfare. My love, expressed through your life, will not seek for your own needs but will strive for the needs and the welfare of others. By this will all men know that you are of My family, for those in the world do not offer the open hand that I call you to offer. Just as My compassions are new every morning, so must you turn to Me each day. Release those aspects of your character that the world calls “strength” but that you will find to be isolating and separating from Me. Put on the new man daily, and be blessed with the riches I give you. These riches are not to be stored or hoarded as the world does, but given as I direct for the growth of My kingdom. When you follow My guidance, you will see My kingdom increase both in numbers, as others are drawn to Me, and in area, as more of your heart is reclaimed and brought under My loving care and watchful protection.

May you put your hope in the Word of the Lord, even when you desperately long for deliverance, and your eyes grow weary looking for God's promises to be fulfilled. Psalm 119

May you embrace God's precepts and obey God's directives, even though men persecute you without cause and the arrogant and lawless dig pitfalls for you, for all His commands are trustworthy and the Lord will preserve your life according to His abundant love. Psalm 119

May God's Word be your delight for it is eternal, standing firm in the heavens, and remaining trustworthy through all generations, enduring to this very day, even to preserving your life as you have sought out the Lord's precepts, followed His leadings and remembered His promises. Psalm 119

May the fear of the Lord keep you away from evil, as His unfailing love and faithfulness atones for your iniquity. Proverbs 16:6

May your choices and actions bring pleasure to the Lord, for He can make even your enemies to be a peace with you. Proverbs 16:7

[heartsings77]

Ephesians 1:18-19 NLT 18 I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.

19 I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power 20 that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.

Ephesians 5:1-2 Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are His dear children. 2 Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered Himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.

Philippians 2:12-13 …Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. 13 For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him.

1 John 3:2-3 Dear friends, we are already God’s children, but He has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He really is. 3 And all who have this eager expectation will keep themselves pure, just as He is pure.

Romans 8:7-8 For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will. 8 That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God.

Romans 8:13-14 But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.

Psalm 18:19 [The Lord] brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me.

May you ever live repentantly before God, that you may live and not die, for at the feet of the Lord Almighty, who can claim to be righteous in themselves? 2 Samuel 12

May you always watch and pray, keeping your eyes on the Father and your heart open to the Spirit, so that you will not enter into temptation by obeying the flesh as David did but, yielding your spirit to the Lord, you will obey God as Jesus did, rather than react to the circumstances and give the enemies of God opportunity to bring reproach and contempt. 2 Samuel 12, Mark 14

May you ever make it your practice to do in private that which you are willing to have proclaimed before the world and those things for which you are willing to be repaid before all, for God knows your heart and will honor those who honor Him, exalting those who humble themselves and repaying those who give to Him of themselves for the sake of others. 2 Samuel 12, Matthew 6, Matthew 10, Luke 12

May you submit all you have, all you are, and all you love to the will and purpose of God, Who acts justly and in love, and sins not, for if He removes some from your hand, He is also gracious and will bring to you that which will grant greater glory than you can imagine. 2 Samuel 12

May you not be troubled in your heart over what caused the troubles that come or which source produced the trials you face, but rather seek to know what task the Lord would have them fulfill and what glory they will bring to His name as they run their course in your life. John 16

May you remember that as the seasons of your life progress, the sorrows will dissipate and the joys will accumulate through the office of the Holy Spirit, Who is your Comforter, for when you look back to the time of distress and the rejoicing of God's foes, where is, now, their joy and what has become, now, of your sorrow? John 16

May you have peace in the Lord through His Word - though you have trouble, tribulation, and distress in the world, take courage, for Jesus has deprived it of power to harm you and has won the victory over the world. John 16

My child, do you wonder why you were selected and picked out for My blessings, My presence, My salvation? Do you question the choice I have made to train and equip you, placing you in the work I have called you to? Do you marvel over how the One Who knows all things could have erred so profoundly and slipped up on this occasion when you were assigned the task and given the responsibilities that you now find yourself surrounded by and feel incapable of meeting? My dear one, I understand the confusion you feel when you huddle on the throne-room floor before the great and high King, from Whom comes all life and blessings, and Who brings swift and total destruction upon His enemies. The knowledge of yourself, of your behavior and thoughts, the fightings within and the conflicts without, give you no assurance of being one who can qualify to receive the outpouring of favor that others are granted, but only to expect the quick flash of displeasure and anger leading to the doom and destruction that is the sure end of those who have displeased Him. My precious one, do you not know? Have you not realized? I am well-pleased with My Son, Who was obedient to My wishes unto death, even the death of the cross, emptying Himself of His rights, His privileges, His entitlements, His opinions, His choices, and taking on Himself the form of flesh so that He could walk in all that mankind faces, knowing and understanding the temptations and weaknesses that humanity is heir to, so that He can rescue whosoever will. I have given Him all that is Mine, and made His name higher than every other name. Do you still not understand? When I look on you and see your heart, I find that you bear the image of My Son. To see you is to be reminded of the One I love most of all. That guarantees you a perpetual place at My table, and ensures that you are provided for in perpetuity from the riches of My grace and the abundance of My compassion, for your disabilities will be healed and your shortcomings will be made whole because of the One Whom we both love. Do not hesitate, My beloved one, but enter into the joys of the kingdom!

May you believe in the commands of the Lord for He is good and what He does is good, therefore He will teach you knowledge and good judgment so that you may obey His word, and no longer stray lest you receive the affliction and chastisement of His love. Psalm 119

May you keep God's precepts with all your heart, for though the arrogant have smeared you with lies because their hearts are callous and unfeeling, yet you delight in His law. Psalm 119

May you learn the ways of the Lord as you are taught to walk in humility with God. Psalm 119

May the truth from God's mouth be more precious to you than thousands of pieces of silver and gold. Psalm 119

May you put your hope in the Word of the One Whose hands have made you and formed you and given you understanding to learn His commands, for when those who fear God see you, they will rejoice at the blessing of God. Psalm 119

May you comfort yourself in God's unfailing love, for the Lord's laws are righteous and He has disciplined you in faithfulness, meeting your need according to His promise. Psalm 119

May you meditate on His precepts with a blameless heart so that you will not be put to shame, but rather the arrogant will be disgraced for wronging you without cause. Psalm 119

May you delight in God's law so that His compassion may come to you and let you live even as those who fear God and understand His statutes turn to you in delight. Psalm 119

May you trust in the wisdom of the Lord, Who has made everything for His own purpose and works everything out to its proper end for those who submit to Him, for all things are answerable to Him, including the wicked at the day of disaster. Proverbs 16:4

May you walk in God's ways with humility and justice, foregoing any agreement or pact with the arrogant and proud of heart, for everyone with a conceited heart is disgusting to the Lord and will not be without chastening. Proverbs 16:5

[heartsings77]

Isaiah 61:1-3 NLT

Good News for the Oppressed

61 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me,     for the Lord has anointed me     to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted     and to proclaim that captives will be released     and prisoners will be freed. 2 He has sent me to tell those who mourn     that the time of the Lord’s favor has come,     and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies. 3 To all who mourn in Israel,     he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning,     festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks     that the Lord has planted for his own glory.
