The LORD is close to the brokenhearted, and he delivers those whose spirit has been crushed.

For he did not think to show kindness,
but pursued the afflicted, poor, and brokenhearted
in order to put them to death.

He heals the brokenhearted
And binds up their wounds.

The spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon me, because the Lord has chosen me. He has commissioned me to encourage the poor, to help the brokenhearted, to decree the release of captives, and the freeing of prisoners,
