1. Then shall the righteous one with great assurance confronthis oppressors who set at nought his labors.

2. Seeing this, the wicked shall be shaken with dreadful fear,and be amazed at the unexpected salvation.

3. They shall say among themselves, ruefuland groaning through anguish of spirit:“This is the one whom once we held as a laughingstockand as a type for mockery,

4. fools that we were!His life we accounted madness,and death dishonored.

5. See how he is accounted among the heavenly beings;how his lot is with the holy ones!
