2:2 The kings of the earth
the rulers collaborate
against the Lord and his anointed king.
2:6 “I myself
on Zion, my holy hill.”
2:7 The king says,
‘You are my son!
2:8 Ask me,
and I will give you the nations as your inheritance,
the ends of the earth as your personal property.
2:9 You will break them
you will smash them like a potter’s jar!’”
2:10 So now, you kings, do what is wise;
you rulers of the earth, submit to correction!
2:11 Serve
Repent in terror!
2:12 Give sincere homage!
Otherwise he
and you will die because of your behavior,
when his anger quickly ignites.
How blessed
11:2 The Lord’s spirit will rest on him
a spirit that gives extraordinary wisdom,
a spirit that provides the ability to execute plans,
a spirit that produces absolute loyalty to the Lord.
11:3 He will take delight in obeying the Lord.
He will not judge by mere appearances,
or make decisions on the basis of hearsay.
11:4 He will treat the poor fairly,
and make right decisions
He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and order the wicked to be executed.
11:5 Justice will be like a belt around his waist,
integrity will be like a belt around his hips.
42:1
my chosen one in whom I take pleasure.
I have placed my spirit on him;
he will make just decrees
42:3 A crushed reed he will not break,
a dim wick he will not extinguish;
he will faithfully make just decrees.
49:1 Listen to me, you coastlands!
Pay attention, you people who live far away!
The Lord summoned me from birth;
he commissioned me when my mother brought me into the world.
49:2 He made my mouth like a sharp sword,
he hid me in the hollow of his hand;
he made me like a sharpened
he hid me in his quiver.
49:3 He said to me, “You are my servant,
Israel, through whom I will reveal my splendor.”
49:6 he says, “Is it too insignificant a task for you to be my servant,
to reestablish the tribes of Jacob,
and restore the remnant
I will make you a light to the nations,
so you can bring
49:7 This is what the Lord,
the protector
to the one who is despised
a servant of rulers:
“Kings will see and rise in respect,
princes will bow down,
because of the faithful Lord,
the Holy One of Israel who has chosen you.”
49:8 This is what the Lord says:
“At the time I decide to show my favor, I will respond to you;
in the day of deliverance I will help you;
I will protect you
to rebuild
and to reassign the desolate property.
55:4 Look, I made him a witness to nations,
a ruler and commander of nations.”
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,
61:2 to announce the year when the Lord will show his favor,
the day when our God will seek vengeance,
to console all who mourn,
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.
1:5 “Before I formed you in your mother’s womb
Before you were born I set you apart.
I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations.”
