The spirit of the Lord is upon me
Because the Lord has anointed me
To preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And freedom to the prisoners.
To proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor,
And the day of the vengeance of our God.
To comfort all who mourn,
To grant those who mourn in Zion
To give them glory instead of ashes
Oil of gladness instead of mourning
A garment of praise for a spirit of despair.
To grant those who mourn in Zion
To give them glory instead of ashes
Oil of gladness instead of mourning
A garment of praise for a spirit of despair
