Comfort for the Contrite

14 And it shall be said,

remove every obstruction from my people’s way.”

who inhabits eternity, whose name is ^qHoly:
^r“I dwell in the high and holy place,
and also ^swith him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit,
^tto revive the spirit of the lowly,
and to revive the heart of the contrite.
16 ^uFor I will not contend forever,
nor will I always be angry;
for the spirit would grow faint before me,
and the breath of life that I made.
