5 Because being under his anger is only for a moment,+

But being in his favor* is for a lifetime.+

61 The spirit of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah is upon me,+

Because Jehovah anointed me to declare good news to the meek.+

He sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,

To proclaim liberty to the captives

And the wide opening of the eyes to the prisoners,+

 2 To proclaim the year of Jehovah’s goodwill*

And the day of vengeance of our God,+

To comfort all who mourn,+

 3 To provide for those mourning over Zion,

To give them a headdress instead of ashes,

The oil of exultation instead of mourning,

The garment of praise instead of a despondent spirit.

And they will be called big trees of righteousness,

The planting of Jehovah, in order to glorify* him.+
