Brokenhearted: overcome by grief or despair; People who feel their spiritual bankruptcy and helplessness, and who long for the help and salvation of God. Such people are in the right condition to be met and blessed by God. Compare "of contrite spirit" (Ps 31:18; Isa 66:2).


The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. Ps. 51:17

The LORD is near to the brokenhearted And saves those who are crushed in spirit. Ps. 34:18

He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. Ps. 147:3

Our Hope in Christ:

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, Because the LORD has anointed Me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to prisoners;Is. 61:1 & Luke 4:18
