|
The spirit of the Lord God is upon me |
|
Because the Lord has anointed me. |
|
He has sent me to bring glad tidings to the poor, |
|
To heal the brokenhearted, |
|
To proclaim liberty to the captives |
|
And release to the prisoners, |
|
To announce a year of favor from the Lord |
|
And a day of vindication by our God, |
|
And a day of vindication by our God. |
|
So will the Lord God let justice and praise, |
|
Justice and praise, justice and praise, |
|
So will the Lord God let justice and praise |
|
Spring up before all the nations. |
|
I rejoice heartily in the Lord; |
|
In the Lord is the joy of my soul. |
|
For he has clothed me with a robe of salvation |
|
And wrapped me in a mantle of justice, |
|
Like a bridegroom adorned with a diadem, |
|
Like a bride bedecked with her jewels. |
|
As the earth springs forth its plants |
|
And a garden makes its growth spring up, |
|
And a garden makes its growth spring up. |
