for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor.

that the oppressed will be set free. - The Sovereign Lord is my strength!
He makes me as surefooted as a deer,
able to tread upon the heights. - The Lord is slow to get angry, but his power is great,
and he never lets the guilty go unpunished.
He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm.

and then fasten it securely with hammer and nails

for they can neither harm you nor do you any good. - Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen.”
