The Lord Shall Rescue Zion

(A)In that day, declares the Lord,
    (B)I will assemble the (C)lame
and gather those who have been driven away
    and those whom I have afflicted;
and the lame I will make (D)the remnant,
    and those who were cast off, a strong nation;
and (E)the Lord will reign over them (F)in Mount Zion
    from this time forth and forevermore.

(A)He was despised and rejected[a] by men,
    a man of sorrows[b] and acquainted with[c] grief;[d]
and as one from whom men hide their faces[e]

(C)Surely he has borne our griefs
    and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
    (D)smitten by God, and afflicted.
(E)But he was pierced for our transgressions;
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
    (F)and with his wounds we are healed.
