9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, I will rather glory in my weaknesses that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
17 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
3 Blessed [are] the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
4 Blessed [are] those that mourn, for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed [are] the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
2 For all these [things] my hand has made, [by my hand] has these [things] been, said the LORD; but to this [man] will I look, [even to him that is] poor and of a contrite spirit and trembles at my word.
15 For thus has said the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name [is] The Holy [One]; I dwell in the high place and in holiness and with him also [that is] of a contrite and humble spirit to cause the spirit of the humble to live and to cause the heart of the contrite ones to live.
26 My flesh and my heart fail; the strength of my heart [is] that God is my portion for ever.
18 [Tzaddi] The LORD [is] near unto those that are of a broken heart and saves such as are of a contrite spirit.
10 For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation, of which there is no need to repented; but the sorrow of the world works death.
11 For behold this same thing, that [when] ye were made sorry by God, what carefulness it wrought in you, [what] clearing of yourselves, [what] indignation, [what] fear, [what] vehement desire, [what] zeal, [what] vindication! In all [things] ye have shown yourselves to be clean in this matter.
3 He heals the broken hearted, and he binds up their wounds.
1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD [is] upon me because the LORD has anointed me; he has sent me to preach good tidings unto those who are cast down; to bind up [the wounds] of the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to [those that are] bound;
2 to proclaim the year of the LORD's favour, and [the] day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3 to order in Zion those that mourn, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
