¹⁸ Jehovah is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.

³ He healeth the broken in heart, And bindeth up their wounds.

¹⁸ Jehovah is nigh unto all them that call upon him, To all that call upon him in truth.

¹⁵ For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

¹ The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening `of the prison' to them that are bound;

¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

²⁶ A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

⁹ Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, That glory may dwell in our land.

¹⁵¹ Thou art nigh, O Jehovah; And all thy commandments are truth.

⁶ Seek ye Jehovah while he may be found; call ye upon him while he is near:

² For all these things hath my hand made, and `so' all these things came to be, saith Jehovah: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and that trembleth at my word.

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised,

¹⁹ because thy heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before Jehovah, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith Jehovah.

¹ We give thanks unto thee, O God; We give thanks, for thy name is near: Men tell of thy wondrous works.

³¹ Then shall ye remember your evil ways, and your doings that were not good; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
