¹⁴ Do not be afraid,^(A) you worm^(B) Jacob,
    little Israel, do not fear,
for I myself will help^(C) you,” declares the Lord,
    your Redeemer,^(D) the Holy One^(E) of Israel.

⁶ But I am a worm^(A) and not a man,
    scorned by everyone,^(B) despised^(C) by the people.

³⁴ Yet their Redeemer^(A) is strong;
    the Lord Almighty^(B) is his name.
He will vigorously defend their cause^(C)
    so that he may bring rest^(D) to their land,
    but unrest to those who live in Babylon.

⁵ For your Maker^(A) is your husband^(B)—
    the Lord Almighty is his name—
the Holy One^(C) of Israel is your Redeemer;^(D)
    he is called the God of all the earth.^(E)

¹⁴ May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
    be pleasing^(A) in your sight,
    Lord, my Rock^(B) and my Redeemer.^(C)

⁶ how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot—
    a human being,^(A) who is only a worm!”^(B)

²⁵ I know that my redeemer^[a](A) lives,^(B)
    and that in the end he will stand on the earth.^[b]

²⁶ I will make your oppressors^(A) eat^(B) their own flesh;
    they will be drunk on their own blood,^(C) as with wine.
Then all mankind will know^(D)
    that I, the Lord, am your Savior,^(E)
    your Redeemer,^(F) the Mighty One of Jacob.^(G)”
