18  The Lord is near to the ^qbrokenhearted

and saves the ^rcrushed in spirit.

17  The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;

a ^ybroken and ^zcontrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

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.
