To the director upon the Hind* of the Dawn. A melody of David.
2 O my God,* I keep calling by day, and you do not answer;+
And by night, and there is no silence on my part.+
5 To you they cried out,+ and they got away safe;+
In you they trusted, and they did not come to shame.+
7 As for all those seeing me, they hold me in derision;+
They keep opening their mouths wide,* they keep wagging [their] head:+
8 “He committed himself* to Jehovah.+ Let Him provide him with escape!+
Let him deliver him, since he has taken delight in him!”+
9 For you were the One drawing me forth from the belly,+
The One making me trust while upon the breasts of my mother.+
12 Many young bulls have surrounded me;+
The powerful ones of Baʹshan themselves have got around me.+
14 Like water I have been poured out,+
And all my bones have been separated from one another.+
My heart has become like wax;+
It has melted deep in my inward parts.+
15 My power* has dried up just like a fragment of earthenware,+
And my tongue is made to stick to my gums;*+
And in the dust of death you are setting me.+
20 Do deliver from the sword my soul,+
My only one* from the very paw of the dog;+
21 Save me from the mouth of the lion,+
And from the horns of wild bulls you must answer [and save] me.+
23 YOU fearers of Jehovah, praise him!+
All YOU the seed of Jacob, glorify him!+
And be frightened at him, all YOU the seed of Israel.+
24 For he has neither despised+
Nor loathed the affliction of the afflicted one;+
And he has not concealed his face from him,+
And when he cried to him for help he heard.+
25 From you my praise will be in the large congregation;+
My vows I shall pay in front of those fearing him.+
27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn back to Jehovah.+
And all the families of the nations will bow down before you.+

53 Who has put faith in the thing heard* by us?+ And as for the arm of Jehovah,+ to whom has it been revealed?+ 2 And he will come up like a twig+ before one,* and like a root out of waterless land. No stately form does he have, nor any splendor;+ and when we shall see him, there is not the appearance so that we should desire him.+
3 He was despised and was avoided by men,*+ a man meant for pains and for having acquaintance with sickness.+ And there was as if the concealing of one’s face from us.*+ He was despised, and we held him as of no account.+ 4 Truly our sicknesses were what he himself carried;+ and as for our pains, he bore them.+ But we ourselves accounted him as plagued,+ stricken by God*+ and afflicted.*+ 5 But he was being pierced+ for our transgression;+ he was being crushed for our errors.+ The chastisement meant for our peace was upon him,+ and because of his wounds+ there has been a healing for us.+ 6 Like sheep* we have all of us wandered about;+ it was each one to his own way that we have turned; and Jehovah himself has caused the error of us all to meet up with that one.+ 7 He was hard pressed,+ and he was letting himself be afflicted;+ yet he would not open his mouth. He was being brought just like a sheep* to the slaughtering;+ and like a ewe that before her shearers has become mute, he also would not open his mouth.+
8 Because of restraint* and of judgment he was taken away;*+ and who will concern himself even with [the details of] his generation?*+ For he was severed+ from the land of the living ones.+ Because of the transgression+ of my people he had the stroke.*+ 9 And he* will make* his burial place even with the wicked ones,+ and with the rich class* in his death,+ despite the fact that he had done no violence+ and there was no deception in his mouth.+
10 But Jehovah himself took delight in crushing him;+ he made him sick.+ If you will set his soul* as a guilt offering,+ he will see his offspring,+ he will prolong [his] days,+ and in his hand what is the delight+ of Jehovah will succeed.+ 11 Because of the trouble of his soul he will see,*+ he will be satisfied.+ By means of his knowledge* the righteous one, my servant,+ will bring a righteous standing to many people;+ and their errors he himself will bear.+ 12 For that reason I shall deal him a portion among the many,+ and it will be with the mighty ones that he will apportion the spoil,+ due to the fact that he poured out his soul to the very death,+ and it was with the transgressors that he was counted in;+ and he himself carried the very sin of many people,+ and for the transgressors he proceeded to interpose.+

26 “And after the sixty-two weeks Mes·siʹah* will be cut off,+ with nothing* for himself.+
“And the city and the holy place+ the people of a leader that is coming will bring to their ruin.+ And the end of it* will be by the flood. And until [the] end there will be war; what is decided upon is desolations.+
