61 The Spirit^(A) of the Sovereign Lord^(B) is on me,
    because the Lord has anointed^(C) me
    to proclaim good news^(D) to the poor.^(E)
He has sent me to bind up^(F) the brokenhearted,
    to proclaim freedom^(G) for the captives^(H)
    and release from darkness for the prisoners,^[a]

⁸ He said, “Surely they are my people,^(A)
    children who will be true to me”;
    and so he became their Savior.^(B)
9 In all their distress he too was distressed,
    and the angel^(C) of his presence^(D) saved them.^[a]
In his love and mercy he redeemed^(E) them;
    he lifted them up and carried^(F) them
    all the days of old.^(G)
10 Yet they rebelled^(H)
    and grieved his Holy Spirit.^(I)
So he turned and became their enemy^(J)
    and he himself fought^(K) against them.
