The (A)Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him,
The spirit of (B)wisdom and understanding,
The spirit of counsel and (C)strength,
The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
And He will delight in the fear of the Lord,
And He will not judge by what His eyes (D)see,
Nor make decisions by what His ears hear;
But with (E)righteousness He will judge the (F)poor,
And decide with fairness for the (G)humble of the earth;
And He will strike the earth with the (H)rod of His mouth,
And with the (I)breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.
Also (J)righteousness will be the belt around His hips,
And (K)faithfulness the belt around His waist.

Exaltation of the Afflicted

61 The (A)Spirit of the Lord [a]God is upon me,
Because the Lord anointed me
To (B)bring good news to the (C)humble;
He has sent me to (D)bind up the brokenhearted,
To (E)proclaim [b]release to captives
And [c]freedom to prisoners;
To (F)proclaim the favorable year of the Lord
And the (G)day of vengeance of our God;
To (H)comfort all who mourn,
To (I)grant those who mourn in Zion,
Giving them a garland instead of ashes,
The (J)oil of gladness instead of mourning,
The cloak of praise instead of a disheartened spirit.
So they will be called [d](K)oaks of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
