We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks,
For Your name is near;
Men declare Your wondrous works.

Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him,
That glory may dwell in our land.

You are near, O Lord,
And all Your commandments are truth.

To all who call upon Him in truth.

Seek the Lord while He may be found;

Call upon Him while He is near.

A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.

He heals the brokenhearted
And binds up their wounds.

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
Because the Lord has anointed me
To bring good news to the

afflicted;

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to captives
And freedom to prisoners;

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor.
He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives,
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set free those who are oppressed,

because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before the Lord when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants that they should become a desolation and a curse, and you have torn your clothes and wept before Me, I truly have heard you,” declares the Lord.

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.

“For My hand made all these things,
Thus all these things came into being,” declares the Lord.
“But to this one I will look,
To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word.

Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
