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.
