1The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed me: he hath sent me to preach to the meek, to heal the contrite of heart, and to preach a release to the captives, and deliverance to them that are shut up.

2To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God: to comfort all that mourn:

3To appoint to the mourners of Sion, and to give them a crown for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, a garment of praise for the spirit of grief: and they shall be called in it the mighty ones of justice, the planting of the Lord to glorify him.

2The mercies of the Lord I will sing for ever. I will shew forth thy truth with my mouth to generation and generation.

3For thou hast said: Mercy shall be built up for ever in the heavens: thy truth shall be prepared in them.

4I have made a covenant with my elect: I have sworn to David my servant:

5Thy seed will I settle for ever. And I will build up thy throne unto generation and generation.

21I have found David my servant: with my holy oil I have anointed him.

22For my hand shall help him: and my arm shall strengthen him.

25And my truth and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

27He shall cry out to me: Thou art my father: my God, and the support of my salvation.

31And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty.

32And all nations shall be gathered together before him: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats:

33And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.

34Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

35For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in:

36Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.

37Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry and fed thee: thirsty and gave thee drink?

38Or when did we see thee a stranger and took thee in? Or naked and covered thee?

39Or when did we see thee sick or in prison and came to thee?

40And the king answering shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.
