(A)Surely he has borne our griefs
    and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
    (B)smitten by God, and afflicted.

    he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
    (D)and with his wounds we are healed.

(F)and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all.
