4  ^mSurely he has borne our griefs

and carried our sorrows;

yet we esteemed him stricken,

ⁿsmitten by God, and afflicted.

8  For he said, “Surely they are my people,

children who will not deal falsely.”

And he became their Savior.

9  ^vIn all their affliction he was afflicted,¹

and the angel of his presence saved them;

^win his love and in his pity he redeemed them;

^xhe lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
