Coração quebrantado

18 Yahweh is near to those who are heartbroken

and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;

A broken and contrite heart,

O God, you will not despise.

3 He is the one who heals the brokenhearted,

and binds up their wounds.

26 My flesh and heart failed,

but God is the strength* of my heart and my reward forever.

15 For thus says the high and lofty one who resides forever, and whose name is holy:

"I reside in a high and holy place,

and with the contrite* and humble of spirit,

to revive the spirit of the humble,

and to revive the heart of the contrite.*

2 And my hand has made all these things,

and all these came to be,"*

declares* Yahweh, "but* I look to this one:

to the humble and the contrite of spirit

and the one frightened at my word.

The Year of Yahweh’s Favor

1 The Spirit of the Lord Yahweh is upon me,

because Yahweh has anointed me,

he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed,

to bind up the brokenhearted,*

to proclaim* release to the captives

and liberation to those who are bound,

2 to proclaim* the year of Yahweh’s favor,

and our God’s day of vengeance,

to comfort all those in mourning,

3 to give* for those in mourning in Zion,

to give them a head wrap instead of ashes,

the oil of joy instead of mourning,

a garment of praise instead of a faint spirit.

And they will be called* oaks of righteousness,

the planting of Yahweh, to show his glory.

3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit,

because theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are the ones who mourn,

because they will be comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek,

because they will inherit the earth.

10 For grief according to the will of God brings about a repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted, but worldly grief brings about death. 11 For behold how much diligence this very thing, being grieved according to the will of God, has brought about in you: what defense of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what punishment! In everything you have demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in this matter.

9 And he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, because the* power is perfected in weakness." Therefore rather I will boast most gladly in my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may reside in me.
