• Isa 53:1-9 : 1 Who has believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground: he has no form or beauty; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He is despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid, as it were, our faces from him; he was despised, and we did not esteem him. 4 Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we considered him stricken, struck by God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement for our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he does not open his mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? For he was cut off from the land of the living: for the transgression of my people he was stricken. 9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, nor was there any deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he has put him to grief: when you make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his offspring, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 11 He shall see the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge, my righteous servant shall justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
• Ps 22:1-9 : 1 My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning? 2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear; and in the night season, and am not silent. 3 But You are holy, O You who inhabit the praises of Israel. 4 Our fathers trusted in You; they trusted, and You delivered them. 5 They cried to You, and were delivered; they trusted in You, and were not disappointed. 6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people. 7 All who see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, 8 He trusted in the LORD that He would deliver him; let Him deliver him, since He delighted in him. 9 But You are He who took me out of the womb; You made me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts. 10 I was cast upon You from the womb; You are my God from my mother’s belly. 11 Do not be far from me, for trouble is near, for there is none to help. 12 Many bulls have surrounded me; strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me. 13 They gaped at me with their mouths, like a ravening and roaring lion. 14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted within me. 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue clings to my jaws; You have brought me into the dust of death. 16 For dogs have surrounded me; the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me; they pierced my hands and my feet. 17 I can count all my bones; they look and stare at me. 18 They divide my garments among them, and cast lots for my clothing. 19 But do not be far from me, O LORD; O my strength, hurry to help me. 20 Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog. 21 Save me from the lion's mouth, for You have heard me from the horns of the wild oxen. 22 I will declare Your name to my brethren; in the midst of the congregation I will praise You. 23 You who fear the LORD, praise Him; all you 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 when he cried to Him, He heard. 25 My praise shall be of You in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before those who fear Him. 26 The humble shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD shall praise Him; your heart shall live forever. 27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations shall worship before You. 28 For the kingdom is the LORD’s, and He is the governor among the nations. 29 All the prosperous of the earth shall eat and worship; all who go down to the dust shall bow before Him, even he who cannot keep himself alive. 30 A posterity shall serve Him; it will be recounted to the Lord for a generation. 31 They will come and declare His righteousness to a people who will be born, that He has done this.

• Ps 69:1-9 : 1 Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my soul. 2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no footing; I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. 3 I am weary of my crying; my throat is dry; my eyes fail while I wait for my God. 4 Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; those who would destroy me, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty; then I restored what I did not take away. 5 O God, you know my foolishness, and my sins are not hidden from you. 6 Let not those who wait on you, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed because of me; let not those who seek you be confounded because of me, O God of Israel. 7 Because for your sake I have borne reproach; shame has covered my face. 8 I have become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to my mother's children. 9 For the zeal for your house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those who reproached you have fallen on me. 10 When I wept and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. 11 I made sackcloth my garment also, and I became a proverb to them. 12 Those who sit in the gate speak against me, and I was the song of the drunkards. 13 But as for me, my prayer is to you, O LORD, in an acceptable time; O God, in the multitude of your mercy hear me, in the truth of your salvation. 14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink; let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters. 15 Let not the floodwaters overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut its mouth on me. 16 Hear me, O LORD, for your lovingkindness is good; turn to me according to the multitude of your tender mercies. 17 And do not hide your face from your servant; for I am in trouble; hear me speedily. 18 Draw near to my soul, and redeem it; deliver me because of my enemies. 19 You have known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor; my adversaries are all before you. 20 Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness; and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none. 21 They also gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. 22 Let their table become a snare before them, and what should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap. 23 Let their eyes be darkened so that they do not see, and make their loins continually to shake. 24 Pour out your indignation upon them, and let your wrathful anger take hold of them. 25 Let their dwelling place be desolate, and let none dwell in their tents. 26 For they persecute the one whom you have struck, and they talk to the grief of those whom you have wounded. 27 Add iniquity to their iniquity, and let them not come into your righteousness. 28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. 29 But I am poor and sorrowful; let your salvation, O God, set me up on high. 30 I will praise the name of God with a song and will magnify him with thanksgiving. 31 This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that has horns and hooves. 32 The humble shall see this and be glad; and your heart shall live that seek God. 33 For the LORD hears the poor and does not despise his prisoners. 34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas and everything that moves therein. 35 For God will save Zion and will build the cities of Judah, that they may dwell there and have it in possession. 36 The descendants also of his servants shall inherit it, and those who love his name shall dwell therein.
