We are asking churches and Christian groups around the world to SING and record the Isaiah 61 Prayer Song in Hebrew.
Simply download the lyrics and sing-along soundtrack to SING aloud and proclaim the words of Isaiah 61 in Hebrew – “proclaim freedom to the captives” (Likro L’shvuyim dror) and “comfort all who mourn” (L’nachem kol avelei Tzion).
You can also SING and record the Isaiah 61 Prayer Song with a small group of friends and family, inside or outside, anywhere in the world.
E-mail us your recording at [email protected] and we will post on the STCF YouTube channel. Please also share on your YouTube channel and other social media platforms with hashtag #SetTheCaptivesFree #Isaiah61.
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
Isaiah 61:1-3
רוּחַ אֲדֹנָי יֱהוִֹה עָלָי
יַעַן מָשַׁח יהוה אֹתִי לְבַשֵֹּר עֲנָוִים
שְׁלָחַניִ לַחֲבֹש לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵב
לִקְרֹא לִשְׁבוּיִם דְּרוֹר
וְלַאֲסוּרִים פְּקַח־קוֹחַ
לִקְרֹא שְׁנַת־רָצוֹן לַיהוה וְיוֹם נָקָם לֵאלֹהֵינוּ
לְנַחֵם כָּל־אֲבֵלִים
לָשׂוּם לַאֲבֵלֵי צִיּוֹן
לָתֵת לָהֶם פְּאֵר תַּחַת אֵפֶר
שֶׁמֶן שָׂשׂוֹן תַּחַת אֵבֶל
מַעֲטֵה תְהִלָּה תַּחַת רוּחַ כֵּהָה
ישעיהו ס"א 1-3
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
and console those who mourn in Zion
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy instead of mourning,
The garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.
Isaiah 61:1-3
