(A)“I will assemble the lame,
(B)I will gather the outcast

(A)He is despised and [a]rejected by men,
A Man of [b]sorrows and (B)acquainted with [c]grief.

And carried our [e]sorrows;
Yet we [f]esteemed Him stricken,
[g]Smitten by God, and afflicted.
But He was (E)wounded[h] for our transgressions,
He was [i]bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His (F)stripes[j] we are healed.

I remembered God, and was troubled;
I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah
