Peace For The Contrite

13 When you cry out,
let your collection of idols deliver you!
The wind will carry all of them off,
a breath will take them away.
But whoever takes refuge in Me
will inherit the land
and possess My holy mountain.
14 He said,
“Build it up, build it up, prepare the way,
remove every obstacle from My people’s way.”

and with the oppressed and lowly of spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly
and revive the heart of the oppressed.
