18  The Lord is near to the ^qbrokenhearted

and saves the ^rcrushed in spirit.

23  ^qOne’s pride will bring him low,

but he who is ^rlowly in spirit will obtain ^shonor.

15  For thus says the One who is high and lifted up,

who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:

“I dwell in the high and holy place,

and also with him who is of a ^dcontrite and lowly spirit,

to revive the spirit of the lowly,

and to revive the heart of the contrite.

1  ^uThe Spirit of the Lord God is ^vupon me,

because the Lord has ^wanointed me

to bring ^xgood news to the poor;¹

he has sent me to ^ybind up the brokenhearted,

to proclaim liberty to the captives,

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

2  All these things my hand has made,

and so all these things came to be,

declares the Lord.

But this is the one to whom I will look:

he who is humble and ^bcontrite in spirit

and ^ctrembles at my word.
