The Year of the Lord’s Favor

1 ^aThe Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
because the Lord has ^banointed me
to bring good news to the poor; ^{▼▼Or afflicted}
he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and ^dthe opening of the prison to those who are bound; ^{▼▼Or the opening [of the eyes] to those who are blind; Septuagint and recovery of sight to the blind}
2 ^fto proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor,
^gand the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn;
3 to grant to those who mourn in Zion—
^hto give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
ⁱthe oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
^jthat they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, ^kthat he may be glorified. ^{▼▼Or that he may display his beauty}
