Bible References

To be

The Lord

is near to the brokenhearted

And saves those who are

crushed in spirit.

For though the Lord is exalted,
Yet He regards the lowly,
But the haughty He knows from afar.

For thus says the high and exalted One
Who

lives forever, whose name is Holy,

“I dwell on a high and holy place,
And also with the contrite and lowly of spirit
In order to revive the spirit of the lowly
And to revive the heart of the contrite.

“

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

“He has done mighty deeds with His arm;
He has scattered those who were proud in the thoughts of their heart.

But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’

Than

“The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil;
My desire shall be gratified against them;
I will draw out my sword, my hand will destroy them.’

You shall multiply the nation,

You shall increase their gladness;
They will be glad in Your presence
As with the gladness of harvest,
As

men rejoice when they divide the spoil.

I send it against a godless nation
And commission it against the people of My fury
To capture booty and to seize plunder,
And to trample them down like mud in the streets.

Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great,
And He will divide the booty with the strong;
Because He poured out

Himself to death,

And was numbered with the transgressors;
Yet He Himself bore the sin of many,
And interceded for the transgressors.
