³ But You are holy,
Enthroned in the ^(B)praises of Israel.
⁴ Our fathers trusted in You;
They trusted, and You delivered them.
⁵ They cried to You, and were delivered;
^(C)They trusted in You, and were not ashamed.

⁶ But I am ^(D)a worm, and no man;
^(E)A reproach of men, and despised by the people.
^7 (F)All those who see Me ridicule Me;
They ^[b]shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
⁸ “He^{(G) [c]}trusted in the Lord, let Him rescue Him;
^(H)Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!”

^9 (I)But You are He who took Me out of the womb;
You made Me trust while on My mother’s breasts.
¹⁰ I was cast upon You from birth.
From My mother’s womb
^(J)You have been My God.
¹¹ Be not far from Me,
For trouble is near;
For there is none to help.

^12 (K)Many bulls have surrounded Me;
Strong bulls of ^(L)Bashan have encircled Me.
^13 (M)They ^[d]gape at Me with their mouths,
Like a raging and roaring lion.

¹⁴ I am poured out like water,
^(N)And all My bones are out of joint;
My heart is like wax;
It has melted ^[e]within Me.
^15 (O)My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And ^(P)My tongue clings to My jaws;
You have brought Me to the dust of death.

¹⁶ For dogs have surrounded Me;
The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me.
^(Q)They^[f] pierced My hands and My feet;
¹⁷ I can count all My bones.
^(R)They look and stare at Me.
^18 (S)They divide My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.

¹⁹ But You, O Lord, do not be far from Me;
O My Strength, hasten to help Me!
²⁰ Deliver Me from the sword,
^(T)My^[g] precious life from the power of the dog.
^21 (U)Save Me from the lion’s mouth
And from the horns of the wild oxen!

^(V)You have answered Me.

^22 (W)I will declare Your name to ^(X)My brethren;
In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.
^23 (Y)You who fear the Lord, praise Him!
All you ^[h]descendants of Jacob, glorify Him,
And fear Him, all you offspring of Israel!
²⁴ For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;
Nor has He hidden His face from Him;
But ^(Z)when He cried to Him, He heard.

^25 (AA)My praise shall be of You in the great assembly;
^(AB)I will pay My vows before those who fear Him.
²⁶ The poor shall eat and be satisfied;
Those who seek Him will praise the Lord.
Let your heart live forever!

²⁷ All the ends of the world
Shall remember and turn to the Lord,
And all the families of the ^[i]nations
Shall worship before ^[j]You.
^28 (AC)For the kingdom is the Lord’s,
And He rules over the nations.

^29 (AD)All the prosperous of the earth
Shall eat and worship;
^(AE)All those who go down to ^[k]the dust
Shall bow before Him,
Even he who cannot keep himself alive.

³⁰ A posterity shall serve Him.
It will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation,
³¹ They will come and declare His righteousness to a people who will be born,
That He has done this.

⁴ Surely ^(E)He has borne our ^[g]griefs
And carried our ^[h]sorrows;
Yet we ^[i]esteemed Him stricken,
^[j]Smitten by God, and afflicted.
⁵ But He was ^(F)wounded^[k] for our transgressions,
He was ^[l]bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His ^(G)stripes^[m] we are healed.
⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the Lord ^[n]has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

⁷ He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet ^(H)He opened not His mouth;
^(I)He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.
⁸ He was ^(J)taken from ^[o]prison and from judgment,
And who will declare His generation?
For ^(K)He was cut off from the land of the living;
For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.
^9 (L)And ^[p]they made His grave with the wicked—
But with the rich at His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was any ^(M)deceit in His mouth.

¹⁰ Yet it pleased the Lord to ^[q]bruise Him;
He has put Him to grief.
When You make His soul ^(N)an offering for sin,
He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,
And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.
^11 [r]He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.
By His knowledge ^(O)My righteous ^(P)Servant shall ^(Q)justify many,
For He shall bear their iniquities.
^12 (R)Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,
^(S)And He shall divide the ^[s]spoil with the strong,
Because He ^(T)poured out His soul unto death,
And He was ^(U)numbered with the transgressors,
And He bore the sin of many,
And ^(V)made intercession for the transgressors.
