⁶ But I am a ^(J)worm and not a man,
A ^(K)reproach of men and ^(L)despised by the people.
⁷ All who see me ^[g](M)sneer at me;
They ^[h]separate with the lip, they ^(N)wag the head, saying,
⁸ “^[i]Commit yourself to the Lord; ^(O)let Him deliver him;
Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.”

⁹ Yet You are He who ^(P)brought me forth from the womb;
You made me trust when upon my mother’s breasts.
¹⁰ Upon You I was cast ^(Q)from ^[j]birth;
You have been my God from my mother’s womb.

^11 (R)Be not far from me, for ^[k]trouble is near;
For there is ^(S)none to help.
¹² Many ^(T)bulls have surrounded me;
Strong bulls of ^(U)Bashan have encircled me.
¹³ They ^(V)open wide their mouth at me,
As a ravening and a roaring ^(W)lion.
¹⁴ I am ^(X)poured out like water,
And all my ^(Y)bones are out of joint;
My ^(Z)heart is like wax;
It is melted within ^[l]me.
¹⁵ My ^(AA)strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And ^(AB)my tongue cleaves to my jaws;
And You ^(AC)lay me ^[m]in the dust of death.
¹⁶ For ^(AD)dogs have surrounded me;
^[n]A band of evildoers has encompassed me;
^[o]They ^(AE)pierced my hands and my feet.
¹⁷ I can count all my bones.
^(AF)They look, they stare at me;
¹⁸ They ^(AG)divide my garments among them,
And for my clothing they cast lots.

¹⁹ But You, O Lord, ^(AH)be not far off;
O You my help, ^(AI)hasten to my assistance.
²⁰ Deliver my ^[p]soul from ^(AJ)the sword,
My ^(AK)only life from the ^[q]power of the dog.
²¹ Save me from the ^(AL)lion’s mouth;
From the horns of the ^(AM)wild oxen You ^(AN)answer me.

²² I will ^(AO)tell of Your name to my brethren;
In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.
^23 (AP)You who fear the Lord, praise Him;
All you ^[r]descendants of Jacob, ^(AQ)glorify Him,
And ^(AR)stand in awe of Him, all you ^[s]descendants of Israel.
²⁴ For He has ^(AS)not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;
Nor has He ^(AT)hidden His face from him;
But ^(AU)when he cried to Him for help, He heard.

²⁵ From You comes ^(AV)my praise in the great assembly;
I shall ^(AW)pay my vows before those who fear Him.
²⁶ The ^[t]afflicted will eat and ^(AX)be satisfied;
Those who seek Him will ^(AY)praise the Lord.
Let your ^(AZ)heart live forever!
²⁷ All the ^(BA)ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord,
And all the ^(BB)families of the nations will worship before ^[u]You.
²⁸ For the ^(BC)kingdom is the Lord’s
And He ^(BD)rules over the nations.
²⁹ All the ^[v](BE)prosperous of the earth will eat and worship,
All those who ^(BF)go down to the dust will bow before Him,
Even he who ^[w](BG)cannot keep his soul alive.
^30 [x](BH)Posterity will serve Him;
It will be told of the Lord to ^(BI)the coming generation.
³¹ They will come and ^(BJ)will declare His righteousness
To a people ^(BK)who will be born, that He has performed it.

⁴ Surely our ^[e]griefs He Himself ^(H)bore,
And our ^[f]sorrows He carried;
Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,
^[g]Smitten of ^(I)God, and afflicted.
⁵ But He was ^[h]pierced through for ^(J)our transgressions,
He was crushed for ^(K)our iniquities;
The ^(L)chastening for our ^[i]well-being fell upon Him,
And by ^(M)His scourging we are healed.
⁶ All of us like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all
To ^[j]fall on Him.

⁷ He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He did not ^(N)open His mouth;
^(O)Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.
⁸ By oppression and judgment He was taken away;
And as for His generation, who considered
That He was cut off out of the land of the ^[k]living
^(P)For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?
⁹ His grave was assigned with wicked men,
Yet He was with a ^(Q)rich man in His death,
^(R)Because He had ^(S)done no violence,
Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.

¹⁰ But the Lord was pleased
To ^(T)crush Him, ^[l](U)putting Him to grief;
If ^[m]He would render Himself as a guilt ^(V)offering,
He will see ^(W)His ^[n]offspring,
He will prolong His days,
And the ^[o]good ^(X)pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand.
¹¹ As a result of the ^[p]anguish of His soul,
He will ^(Y)see ^[q]it and be satisfied;
By His ^(Z)knowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will justify the many,
As He will ^(AA)bear their iniquities.
¹² Therefore, I will allot Him a ^(AB)portion with the great,
And He will divide the booty with the strong;
Because He poured out ^[r](AC)Himself to death,
And was ^(AD)numbered with the transgressors;
Yet He Himself ^(AE)bore the sin of many,
And interceded for the transgressors.
