Psalm 105:20; Isaiah 61:1; Psalm 68:6

20  xThe king sent and yreleased him;

the ruler of the peoples set him free;


The Year of the Lord’s Favor

61  sThe Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,

because the Lord has tanointed me

to bring good news to the poor;1

he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,

to proclaim liberty to the captives,

and uthe opening of the prison to those who are bound;2


God qsettles the solitary in a home;

he rleads out the prisoners to prosperity,

but sthe rebellious dwell in ta parched land.
