61:1 The spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon me,
because the Lord has chosen
He has commissioned
to help
to decree the release of captives,
and the freeing of prisoners,
61:3 to strengthen those who mourn in Zion,
by giving them a turban, instead of ashes,
oil symbolizing joy,
a garment symbolizing praise,
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
trees planted by the Lord to reveal his splendor.
