⁵ Thus says God the Lord,
^(A)Who created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it,
^(B)Who gives breath to the people on it,
And spirit to those who walk on it:

¹⁵ For thus says the High and Lofty One
Who inhabits eternity, ^(A)whose name is Holy:
^(B)“I dwell in the high and holy place,
^(C)With him who has a contrite and humble spirit,
^(D)To revive the spirit of the humble,
And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
^16 (E)For I will not contend forever,
Nor will I always be angry;
For the spirit would fail before Me,
And the souls ^(F)which I have made.
