²³ A man’s pride will bring him low,
but a humble spirit will gain honor.

¹¹ Now the ransomed of Adonai will return,
and come to Zion with singing.
Everlasting joy will be upon their heads.
They will obtain gladness and joy,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

¹² “I, I am the One who comforts you.
Who are you that you should fear man,
    who dies, or a son of man,
    who is given up like grass?”

¹⁵ For thus says the High and Exalted One
    who inhabits eternity, whose Name is Holy:
“I dwell in a high and holy place,
yet also with a contrite and humble spirit,
    to revive the spirit of the humble,
    and revive the heart of the contrite.
