Psalms 69:33

A man’s pride brings him low, but one of lowly spirit gains honor.

The Lord Yahweh’s Spirit is on me, because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to those who are bound,

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.

You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.

Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all.

Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name’s sake.

Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.

even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.

You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’

If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.

When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.

Let your ear now be attentive, and your eyes open, that you may listen to the prayer of your servant, which I pray before you at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel your servants, while I confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Yes, I and my father’s house have sinned.

Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.

He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother of children. Praise Yah!

for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them.

If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a district, don’t marvel at the matter, for one official is eyed by a higher one, and there are officials over them.

It will happen in that day that his burden will depart from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing oil.

But Yahweh says, “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the plunder retrieved from the fierce, for I will contend with him who contends with you and I will save your children.

For the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, says: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

He said, “I called because of my affliction to Yahweh. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice.

Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,

Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,

I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.

Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which Yahweh has made with you concerning all these words.”

Yahweh, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this desire forever in the thoughts of the heart of your people, and prepare their heart for you;

You would call, and I would answer you. You would have a desire for the work of your hands.

For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.

The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. O God, you will not despise a broken and contrite heart.

Yahweh executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.

and a fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of those who dwell in it.

Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.

Yahweh is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.

The eyes of those who see will not be dim, and the ears of those who hear will listen.

Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.

to open the blind eyes, to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.

The captive exile will speedily be freed. He will not die and go down into the pit. His bread won’t fail.

But now, Yahweh, you are our Father. We are the clay and you our potter. We all are the work of your hand.

‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you don’t know.’

“Behold, my servant whom I have chosen; my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations.

to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace.”

He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,

Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.

So he took him, and brought him to the commanding officer, and said, “Paul, the prisoner, summoned me and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you.”

to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

yet for love’s sake I rather beg, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, our Lord Jesus,

Beloved, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have boldness toward God;

so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

“I know your works, oppression, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, Neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.

Yahweh’s eyes are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.

God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners with singing, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.

He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker, but he who is kind to the needy honors him.

Sing to Yahweh! Praise Yahweh, for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.

the people who sat in darkness saw a great light, to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, to them light has dawned.”

I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death.

This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.

Is it good to you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and smile on the counsel of the wicked?

Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,

“Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says Yahweh; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”

This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

All my bones shall say, “Yahweh, who is like you, who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?”

But I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Don’t delay, my God.

He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, and has not despised their prayer.

to hear the groans of the prisoner; to free those who are condemned to death;

Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron,

I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.

who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners.

saying to those who are bound, ‘Come out!’; to those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves!’ “They shall feed along the paths, and their pasture shall be on all treeless heights.

For my hand has made all these things, and so all these things came to be,” says Yahweh: “but I will look to this man, even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.

To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,

As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water.

It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that listened to me knew that it was Yahweh’s word.

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,

For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.
