^4 (E)Surely he has borne our griefs
    and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
    ^(F)smitten by God, and afflicted.
^5 (G)But he was pierced for our transgressions;
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
    ^(H)and with his wounds we are healed.
^6 (I)All we like sheep have gone astray;
    we have turned—every one—to his own way;
^(J)and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all.

⁷ He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
    ^(K)yet he opened not his mouth;
^(L)like a ^(M)lamb that is led to the slaughter,
    and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
    so he opened not his mouth.
⁸ By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
    and as for his generation, ^(N)who considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
    stricken for the transgression of my people?
⁹ And they made his grave with the wicked
    ^(O)and with a rich man in his death,
although ^(P)he had done no violence,
    and there was no deceit in his mouth.

¹⁰ Yet ^(Q)it was the will of the Lord to crush him;
    he has put him to grief;^[f]
(R)when his soul makes^[g] an offering for guilt,
    he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
^(S)the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
¹¹ Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see^[h] and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall ^(T)the righteous one, my servant,
    ^(U)make many to be accounted righteous,
    ^(V)and he shall bear their iniquities.
^12 (W)Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,^{[i]
    (X)}and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,^[j]
because he poured out his soul to death
    and was numbered with the transgressors;
^(Y)yet he bore the sin of many,
    and makes intercession for the transgressors.

³ Yet you are ^(E)holy,
    ^(F)enthroned on ^(G)the praises^[a] of Israel.
⁴ In you our fathers trusted;
    they trusted, and you delivered them.
⁵ To you they ^(H)cried and were rescued;
    in you they ^(I)trusted and were not put to shame.

⁶ But I am ^(J)a worm and not a man,
    ^(K)scorned by mankind and ^(L)despised by the people.
⁷ All who see me ^(M)mock me;
    they make mouths at me; they ^(N)wag their heads;
^8 (O)“He trusts in the Lord; let him ^(P)deliver him;
    let him rescue him, for he ^(Q)delights in him!”

⁹ Yet you are he who ^(R)took me from the womb;
    you made me trust you at my mother's breasts.
¹⁰ On you was I cast from my birth,
    and from ^(S)my mother's womb you have been my God.
¹¹ Be not ^(T)far from me,
    for trouble is near,
    and there is ^(U)none to help.

¹² Many bulls encompass me;
    ^(V)strong bulls of ^(W)Bashan surround me;
¹³ they ^(X)open wide their mouths at me,
    like a ravening and roaring lion.

¹⁴ I am ^(Y)poured out like water,
    and all my bones are ^(Z)out of joint;
my ^(AA)heart is like ^(AB)wax;
    it is melted within my breast;
¹⁵ my strength is ^(AC)dried up like a potsherd,
    and my ^(AD)tongue sticks to my jaws;
    you lay me in the dust of death.

¹⁶ For ^(AE)dogs encompass me;
    a company of evildoers ^(AF)encircles me;
they have ^(AG)pierced my hands and feet^[b]—
¹⁷ I can count all my bones—
they ^(AH)stare and gloat over me;
^18 (AI)they divide my garments among them,
    and for my clothing they cast lots.

¹⁹ But you, O Lord, ^(AJ)do not be far off!
    O you my help, ^(AK)come quickly to my aid!
²⁰ Deliver my soul from the sword,
    my precious life from the power of ^(AL)the dog!
²¹     Save me from ^(AM)the mouth of the lion!
You have rescued^[c] me from the horns of ^(AN)the wild oxen!

^22 (AO)I will tell of your name to my ^(AP)brothers;
    in the midst of the congregation I will praise you:
²³ You who ^(AQ)fear the Lord, praise him!
    All you offspring of Jacob, ^(AR)glorify him,
    and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!
²⁴ For he has not despised or abhorred
    the affliction of ^(AS)the afflicted,
and he has not ^(AT)hidden his face from him,
    but has heard, when he ^(AU)cried to him.

²⁵ From you comes my praise in the great ^(AV)congregation;
    my ^(AW)vows I will ^(AX)perform before those who fear him.
^26 (AY)The afflicted^[d] shall ^(AZ)eat and be satisfied;
    those who seek him shall praise the Lord!
    May your hearts ^(BA)live forever!

²⁷ All ^(BB)the ends of the earth shall remember
    and turn to the Lord,
and all ^(BC)the families of the nations
    shall worship before you.
²⁸ For ^(BD)kingship belongs to the Lord,
    and he rules over the nations.

²⁹ All ^(BE)the prosperous of the earth eat and worship;
    before him shall ^(BF)bow all who go down to the dust,
    even the one who could not ^(BG)keep himself alive.
³⁰ Posterity shall serve him;
    it shall be told of the Lord to the coming ^(BH)generation;
³¹ they shall ^(BI)come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet ^(BJ)unborn,
    that he has done it.
