[Intro]
He was despised and rejected by men
A man of suffering and acquainted with disease
[Verse 1]
He was despised as one from whom men hide their face
And we didn't respect him
Surely he has borne our sickness
And carried our suffering
But he was pierced for our transgressions
He was crushed for our iniquities
The punishment that brought our peace was on him
And by his wounds we are healed
[Chorus]
All we like sheep have gone astray
Everyone is turning his own way
And the Lord has placed on him
The iniquity of us all
[Verse 2]
He was oppressed
Yet when he was afflicted, he didn't open his mouth
As a lamb that is led to the slaughter
And as a sheep that before its shearers is mute
He didn't open his mouth

[Verse 3]
Although he had done no violence
Neither was there any deceit in his mouth, in his mouth
My righteous servant will justify many
By the knowledge of himself and he will bear their iniquities
'Cause he poured out his soul to death
And was numbered with the transgressors
Yet he bore the sin of many
And made intercession for the transgressors
[Chorus]
We are healed
All we like sheep have gone astray
Everyone is turning his own way
The Lord has placed on him the iniquity of us all

[Outro]
He was despised and rejected by men
A man of suffering and acquainted with disease
