^2 (A)All these things my hand has made,
    and so all these things came to be,
declares the Lord.
^(B)But this is the one to whom I will look:
    he who is humble and contrite in spirit
    and trembles at my word.

^23 (A)One's pride will bring him low,
    ^(B)but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.

¹⁸ The Lord is near to ^(A)the brokenhearted
    and saves ^(B)the crushed in spirit.

^19 (A)It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor
    than to ^(B)divide the spoil with the proud.

¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are ^(A)a broken spirit;
    a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

¹⁵ For thus says ^(A)the One who is high and lifted up,
    who inhabits eternity, whose name is ^(B)Holy:
^(C)“I dwell in the high and holy place,
    and also ^(D)with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit,
^(E)to revive the spirit of the lowly,
    and to revive the heart of the contrite.
