⁴ Those who have hate for me without cause are greater in number than the hairs of my head; those who are against me, falsely desiring my destruction, are very strong; I gave back what I had not taken away.

¹⁹ Do not let my haters be glad over me falsely; let not those who are against me without cause make sport of me.

²⁵ This comes about so that the writing in their law may be made true, Their hate for me was without cause.

⁴ But it was our pain he took, and our diseases were put on him: while to us he seemed as one diseased, on whom God's punishment had come.

⁵ But it was for our sins he was wounded, and for our evil doings he was crushed: he took the punishment by which we have peace, and by his wounds we are made well.

⁶ We all went wandering like sheep; going every one of us after his desire; and the Lord put on him the punishment of us all.

⁷ Men were cruel to him, but he was gentle and quiet; as a lamb taken to its death, and as a sheep before those who take her wool makes no sound, so he said not a word.

¹² For unnumbered evils are round about me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I am bent down with their weight; they are more than the hairs of my head, my strength is gone because of them.

¹⁸ Because Christ once went through pain for sins, the upright one taking the place of sinners, so that through him we might come back to God; being put to death in the flesh, but given life in the Spirit;

²² Who did no evil, and there was no deceit in his mouth:

²¹ For him who had no knowledge of sin God made to be sin for us; so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

³ Words of hate are round about me; they have made war against me without cause.

⁴ For my love they give me back hate; but I have given myself to prayer.

⁵ They have put on me evil for good; hate in exchange for my love.

³ For see, they are watching in secret for my soul; the strong have come together against me? but not because of my sin, or my evil-doing, O Lord.

¹⁹ But they are strong who have hate for me without cause: those who are against me falsely are increased in numbers.

²⁰ They give me back evil for good; they are my haters because I go after the thing which is right.

¹¹ False witnesses got up: they put questions to me about crimes of which I had no knowledge.

¹² They gave me back evil for good, troubling my soul.

³ O Lord my God, if I have done this; if my hands have done any wrong;

⁴ If I have given back evil to him who did evil to me, or have taken anything from him who was against me without cause;

⁵ Let my hater go after my soul and take it; let my life be crushed to the earth, and my honour into the dust. (Selah.)

²⁴ He took our sins on himself, giving his body to be nailed on the tree, so that we, being dead to sin, might have a new life in righteousness, and by his wounds we have been made well.
