Yet you are (A)holy,
    (B)enthroned on (C)the praises[a] of Israel.
In you our fathers trusted;
    they trusted, and you delivered them.
To you they (D)cried and were rescued;
    in you they (E)trusted and were not put to shame.

But I am (F)a worm and not a man,
    (G)scorned by mankind and (H)despised by the people.
All who see me (I)mock me;
    they make mouths at me; they (J)wag their heads;
(K)“He trusts in the Lord; let him (L)deliver him;
    let him rescue him, for he (M)delights in him!”

Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One;(A)
    you are the one Israel praises.[a](B)
In you our ancestors put their trust;
    they trusted and you delivered them.(C)
To you they cried out(D) and were saved;
    in you they trusted(E) and were not put to shame.(F)

But I am a worm(G) and not a man,
    scorned by everyone,(H) despised(I) by the people.
All who see me mock me;(J)
    they hurl insults,(K) shaking their heads.(L)
“He trusts in the Lord,” they say,
    “let the Lord rescue him.(M)
Let him deliver him,(N)
    since he delights(O) in him.”
