Isaiah 61:1-3

Exaltation of the Afflicted

1 The ^aSpirit of the Lord ^{▼▼Heb YHWH, usually rendered Lord}God is upon me,
Because the Lord anointed me
To ^cbring good news to the ^dhumble;
He has sent me to ^ebind up the brokenhearted,
To ^fproclaim ^{▼▼Or liberty}release to captives
And ^{▼▼Lit opening to those who are bound}freedom to prisoners;
2 To ⁱproclaim the favorable year of the Lord
And the ^jday of vengeance of our God;
To ^kcomfort all who mourn,
3 To ^lgrant those who mourn in Zion,
Giving them a garland instead of ashes,
The ^moil of gladness instead of mourning,
The cloak of praise instead of a disheartened spirit.
So they will be called ^{▼▼Or terebinths
,} ^ooaks of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
