Isaiah 53:5-9

Leader: He was oppressed and afflicted, 
  yet he did not open his mouth; 
  he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, 
  and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, 
  so he did not open his mouth. 

ALL: We all, like sheep, have gone astray, 
  each of us has turned to our own way; 
  and the Lord has laid on him 
  the iniquity of us all.

Leader: He was assigned a grave with the wicked, 
  and with the rich in his death, 
  though he had done no violence, 
  nor was any deceit in his mouth. 

ALL: But he was pierced for our transgressions, 
  he was crushed for our iniquities; 
  the punishment that brought us peace was on him, 
  and by his wounds we are healed!

Leader: 1 Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked,
  or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.

  and they prosper in all they do.

  They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.
  5 They will be condemned at the time of judgment.
  Sinners will have no place among the godly.

ALL: 6 For the Lord watches over the path of the godly,
  but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.
