You have given me the breastplate of your salvation, and your mercy has made me great.

You have given me the breastplate of your salvation: your right hand has been my support, and your mercy has made me great.

Who is like the Lord our God, who is seated on high,

For this is the word of him who is high and lifted up, whose resting-place is eternal, whose name is Holy: my resting-place is in the high and holy place, and with him who is crushed and poor in spirit, to give life to the spirit of the poor, and to make strong the heart of the crushed.

Be full of joy, O daughter of Zion; give a glad cry, O daughter of Jerusalem: see, your king comes to you: he is upright and has overcome; gentle and seated on an ass, on a young ass.

Take my yoke on you and become like me, for I am gentle and without pride, and you will have rest for your souls;

But we were gentle among you, like a woman caring for her little ones:

For it is not right for the Lord's servant to make trouble, but he is to be gentle to all, ready in teaching, putting up with wrong,

To say no evil of any man, not to be fighters, to give way to others, to be gentle in behaviour to all men.

But the wisdom which is from heaven is first holy, then gentle, readily giving way in argument, full of peace and mercy and good works, not doubting, not seeming other than it is.
