Psa 146:8, Isa 29:18, 35:4-6, 42:6-7, Mat 9:30, Luk 4:18, 7:21-22 | ESV | STEP | the Lord opens the eyes of the blind . The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down ; the Lord loves the righteous .

4 Say to those who have an anxious heart,
“Be strong; fear not!
^gBehold, your God
will come with vengeance,
with the recompense of God.
He will come and save you.”
5 ^hThen the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
and the ears of the deaf unstopped;
6 ⁱthen shall the lame man leap like a deer,
and the tongue of the mute sing for joy.
^jFor waters break forth in the wilderness,
and streams in the desert;

ⁿa light for the nations,
7 ^oto open the eyes that are blind,
to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon,
^pfrom the prison those who sit in darkness.

^wto set at liberty those who are oppressed,
