Psalms 72:12

For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and streams on the dry ground. I will pour my Spirit on your descendants, and my blessing on your offspring:

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,

Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

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.

Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.

Yahweh, your God, is among you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.

but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.

even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

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.

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”

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

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

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

The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.”

and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.

Yahweh passed by before him, and proclaimed, “Yahweh! Yahweh, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth,

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.

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

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

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

Moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of justice, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there.

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.

If it happens, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.

Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.

and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing and say, “Sit here in a good place;” and you tell the poor man, “Stand there,” or “Sit by my footstool”

“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.

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;

Because I delivered the poor who cried, and the fatherless also, who had no one to help him,

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

Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was no one to help.

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

For the people will dwell in Zion at Jerusalem. You will weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the voice of your cry. When he hears you, he will answer you.

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.

“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.

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.

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

The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.

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.’

through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

For Yahweh will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants, when he sees that their power is gone; that there is no one remaining, shut up or left at large.

For if you turn again to Yahweh, your brothers and your children will find compassion before those who led them captive, and will come again into this land, because Yahweh your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him.”

because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God, when you heard his words against this place, and against its inhabitants, and have humbled yourself before me, and have torn your clothes, and wept before me, I also have heard you,” says Yahweh.

Don’t be far from me, for trouble is near. For there is no one to help.

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.

He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.

Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.

Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he will also cry out, but shall not be heard.

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.

but he will judge the poor with righteousness, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.

The animals of the field, the jackals and the ostriches, shall honor me, because I give water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen,

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.

Therefore I will give him a portion with the great. He will divide the plunder with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death and was counted with the transgressors; yet he bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors.

Her filthiness was in her skirts. She didn’t remember her latter end. Therefore she has come down astoundingly. She has no comforter. “See, Yahweh, my affliction; for the enemy has magnified himself.”

When he came near to the den to Daniel, he cried with a troubled voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, is your God, whom you serve continually, able to deliver you from the lions?”

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.”

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.

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

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

I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever:

knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.

Don’t you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win.

For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

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

For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

Through him, then, let’s offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which proclaim allegiance to his name.

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears open to their prayer; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”

for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What would he sleep in? It will happen, when he cries to me, that I will hear, for I am gracious.

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

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;

Then I returned and saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold, the tears of those who were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.

The poor and needy seek water, and there is none. Their tongue fails for thirst. I, Yahweh, will answer them. I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.

“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,

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.

The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.”

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.

Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.

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

What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
