* The spirit of My Lord Yahweh , is upon me , Because Yahweh Hath anointed me to tell good tidings to the oppressed , lath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted , To proclaim To captives , liberty , To them who are bound , the opening of the prison ; * To proclaim The year of acceptance of Yahweh , and The day of avenging of our God : To comfort all who are mourning ; * To appoint unto the mourners of Zion To give unto them A chaplet instead of ashes , The oil of joy instead of mourning , The mantle of praise instead of the spirit of dejection , So shall they be called The oaks of righteousness , The plantation of Yahweh : That he may get himself glory * Then shall they build the wastes of a bygone age , The desolations of former times , shall they raise up , And they shall build anew The cities laid waste , The desolations of generation after generation . * Then shall strangers stay and feed your flocks , And , the sons of the foreigner , shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers . * But , ye , the priests of Yahweh , shall be called , The attendants of our God , shall ye be named , The riches of the nations , shall ye eat , And in their glory , shall ye boast yourselves . * Instead of your shame , double ! and Instead of disgrace , they shall shout in triumph over their portion , Therefore in their own land , shall they possess double , Joy age-abiding , shall be theirs . * For , I , Yahweh , am a lover of justice , Hating plunder , for an ascending-sacrifice , Therefore will I give their reward with faithfulness , And an age-abiding covenant , will I solemnise for them . * Then shall be known among the nations , their seed , And , their offspring , in the midst of the peoples , A who see them , shall acknowledge them , That , they , are the seed that Yahweh hath blessed . * I will , greatly rejoice , in Yahweh , My soul shall exult in my God , For he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation , With a robe of righteousness , hath he enwrapt me , As a bridegroom , adorneth himself with , a chaplet , And as a bride , bedecketh herself with , her jewels . * For as the earth , bringeth forth her bud , And as , a garden , causeth her seeds , to shoot forth , So , My Lord , Yahweh , will cause to shoot forth Righteousness and praise before all the nations .
