22  ^aI have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud

and your sins like mist;

return to me, for I have redeemed you.

23  ^bSing, O heavens, for the Lord has done it;

shout, O ^cdepths of the earth;

break forth into singing, O mountains,

O forest, and every tree in it!

For the Lord has redeemed Jacob,

^dand will be glorified¹ in Israel.

7  Thus says the Lord,

^wthe Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One,

^xto one deeply despised, abhorred by the nation,

the servant of rulers:

^y“Kings shall see and arise;

princes, and they shall prostrate themselves;

because of the Lord, who is faithful,

the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

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.

22  The Lord ^wredeems the life of his servants;

none of those who take refuge in him will be ^xcondemned.

7  The Lord will ^akeep you from all evil;

he will ^akeep your life.
