Ruach Adonai Alai
Ruach Adonai alai
Ya'an mashach Adonai oti
Levaser anavim
Shi'lachani lachvosh le'nishberei lev
Likro lishvuyim dror
Ve'la'asurim p'kach ko'ach
Likro shi'nat ratzon la'Adonai
Ve'yom nakam le'Eloheinu
Le'nachem kol avelim
Lasum la'avelei Tziyon
Latet lahem pe'er tachat efer
Shemen sasson tachat evel
Ma'ateh te'hilah tachat ruach kehah
The Spirit of the Lord is Upon Me
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me
Because the Lord has anointed me
To bring good news to the humble
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted
To proclaim liberty to captives
And freedom to prisoners
To proclaim the year of the Lord's favor
And the day of vengeance of our God
To comfort all who mourn
To give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes
The oil of gladness instead of mourning
The garment of praise instead of a faint spirit
