⁴ For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;^(H)
    he is to be feared^(I) above all gods.^(J)
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols,^(K)
    but the Lord made the heavens.^(L)
6 Splendor and majesty^(M) are before him;
    strength and glory^(N) are in his sanctuary.

⁷ Ascribe to the Lord,^(O) all you families of nations,^(P)
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
⁸ Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
    bring an offering^(Q) and come into his courts.^(R)
9 Worship the Lord^(S) in the splendor of his^[a] holiness;^(T)
    tremble^(U) before him, all the earth.^(V)
10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.^(W)”
    The world is firmly established,^(X) it cannot be moved;^(Y)
    he will judge^(Z) the peoples with equity.^(AA)

¹¹ Let the heavens rejoice,^(AB) let the earth be glad;^(AC)
    let the sea resound, and all that is in it.
¹² Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
    let all the trees of the forest^(AD) sing for joy.^(AE)
13 Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he comes,
    he comes to judge^(AF) the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness^(AG)
    and the peoples in his faithfulness.^(AH)

How good it is to sing praises to our God,
    how pleasant^(A) and fitting to praise him!^(B)

² The Lord builds up Jerusalem;^(C)
    he gathers the exiles^(D) of Israel.
³ He heals the brokenhearted^(E)
    and binds up their wounds.^(F)
4 He determines the number of the stars^(G)
    and calls them each by name.
⁵ Great is our Lord^(H) and mighty in power;^(I)
    his understanding has no limit.^(J)
6 The Lord sustains the humble^(K)
    but casts the wicked^(L) to the ground.

⁷ Sing to the Lord^(M) with grateful praise;^(N)
    make music^(O) to our God on the harp.^(P)

⁸ He covers the sky with clouds;^(Q)
    he supplies the earth with rain^(R)
    and makes grass grow^(S) on the hills.
⁹ He provides food^(T) for the cattle
    and for the young ravens^(U) when they call.

¹⁰ His pleasure is not in the strength^(V) of the horse,^(W)
    nor his delight in the legs of the warrior;
¹¹ the Lord delights^(X) in those who fear him,^(Y)
    who put their hope^(Z) in his unfailing love.^(AA)

53 Who has believed our message^(J)
    and to whom has the arm^(K) of the Lord been revealed?^(L)
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,^(M)
    and like a root^(N) out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
    nothing in his appearance^(O) that we should desire him.
³ He was despised and rejected by mankind,
    a man of suffering,^(P) and familiar with pain.^(Q)
Like one from whom people hide^(R) their faces
    he was despised,^(S) and we held him in low esteem.

⁴ Surely he took up our pain
    and bore our suffering,^(T)
yet we considered him punished by God,^(U)
    stricken by him, and afflicted.^(V)
5 But he was pierced^(W) for our transgressions,^(X)
    he was crushed^(Y) for our iniquities;
the punishment^(Z) that brought us peace^(AA) was on him,
    and by his wounds^(AB) we are healed.^(AC)
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,^(AD)
    each of us has turned to our own way;^(AE)
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity^(AF) of us all.

⁷ He was oppressed^(AG) and afflicted,
    yet he did not open his mouth;^(AH)
he was led like a lamb^(AI) to the slaughter,^(AJ)
    and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
⁸ By oppression^[d] and judgment^(AK) he was taken away.
    Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;^(AL)
    for the transgression^(AM) of my people he was punished.^[e]
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,^(AN)
    and with the rich^(AO) in his death,
though he had done no violence,^(AP)
    nor was any deceit in his mouth.^(AQ)

¹⁰ Yet it was the Lord’s will^(AR) to crush^(AS) him and cause him to suffer,^(AT)
    and though the Lord makes^[f] his life an offering for sin,^(AU)
he will see his offspring^(AV) and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosper^(AW) in his hand.
¹¹ After he has suffered,^(AX)
    he will see the light^(AY) of life^[g] and be satisfied^[h];
by his knowledge^[i] my righteous servant^(AZ) will justify^(BA) many,
    and he will bear their iniquities.^(BB)
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,^[j](BC)
    and he will divide the spoils^(BD) with the strong,^[k]
because he poured out his life unto death,^(BE)
    and was numbered with the transgressors.^(BF)
For he bore^(BG) the sin of many,^(BH)
    and made intercession^(BI) for the transgressors.

“Be glad, barren woman,
    you who never bore a child;
shout for joy and cry aloud,
    you who were never in labor;
because more are the children of the desolate woman
    than of her who has a husband.”^[a](G)
