The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to bring good tidings to the afflicted...
to grant to those who mourn in Zion--
... the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit--
that they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified."
