Ref. Arise, O Lord, save me, my God, the power fill my heart.
Who hath believed our report?
On whom is the arm of the Lord been revealed?
He grew up before us like a sapling
and as a root out of dry ground.
He had no grace or majesty,
to look at him;
despised and rejected by men;
he had no appearance that we would have liked.
A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief;
and as one from whom men hide their faces;
he was despised, that we had him for nothing,
stricken that we recognize Him.
Surely he has borne our griefs
He carried our sorrows,
He was wounded for our transgressions,
and crushed for our iniquities.
The chastisement that made us fell upon him,
and with his stripes we are healed;
we have all gone astray like sheep;
each of us has turned to his own way.
The Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
but he himself gave oppress, when he was tortured;
like a lamb to the slaughter,
like a sheep silent his mouth did not open.
Though he had done no harm
and in his mouth a lie never came
It pleased the Lord to crush him with suffering.
by the will of the Lord was fulfilled by Him.
