Lord our God be upon us: and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, the work of our
hands establish it.

Ps 146:7,8,9

The Lord executes judgment for the oppressed: He gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses
the prisoners: the Lord opens the eyes the eyes of the blind: the Lord raises them that

the fatherless and widow.

Pro 5:15,16,17,18

give you for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; to open the blind eyes, to
bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. I
am the Lord: that is My name: and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to
graven images. Behold the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before
they spring forth I tell you of them.

that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion,
You are My people.

added to you.

But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, The
kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils:
freely you have received, freely give.
But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what you shall speak: for it shall be
given you in that same hour what you shall speak. For it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of
your Father which speaks in you.
