⁴ Those hating me without cause Have been more than the hairs of my head, Mighty have been my destroyers, My lying enemies, That which I took not away -- I bring back.

¹⁹ Mine enemies rejoice not over me `with' falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.

²⁵ but -- that the word may be fulfilled that was written in their law -- They hated me without a cause.

⁴ Surely our sicknesses he hath borne, And our pains -- he hath carried them, And we -- we have esteemed him plagued, Smitten of God, and afflicted.

⁵ And he is pierced for our transgressions, Bruised for our iniquities, The chastisement of our peace `is' on him, And by his bruise there is healing to us.

⁶ All of us like sheep have wandered, Each to his own way we have turned, And Jehovah hath caused to meet on him, The punishment of us all.

⁷ It hath been exacted, and he hath answered, And he openeth not his mouth, As a lamb to the slaughter he is brought, And as a sheep before its shearers is dumb, And he openeth not his mouth.

¹² For compassed me have evils innumerable, Overtaken me have mine iniquities, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart hath forsaken me.

¹⁸ because also Christ once for sin did suffer -- righteous for unrighteous -- that he might lead us to God, having been put to death indeed, in the flesh, and having been made alive in the spirit,

²² who did not commit sin, nor was guile found in his mouth,

²¹ for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.

³ They have compassed me about, And they fight me without cause.

⁴ For my love they oppose me, and I -- prayer!

⁵ And they set against me evil for good, And hatred for my love.

³ For, lo, they laid wait for my soul, Assembled against me are strong ones, Not my transgression nor my sin, O Jehovah.

¹⁹ And mine enemies `are' lively, They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied.

²⁰ And those paying evil for good accuse me, Because of my pursuing good.

¹¹ Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.

¹² They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,

³ O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,

⁴ If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary without cause,

⁵ An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth in the dust. Selah.

²⁴ who our sins himself did bear in his body, upon the tree, that to the sins having died, to the righteousness we may live; by whose stripes ye were healed,
