In the midst of the congregation I will praise You.

I will praise the name of God with song
And magnify Him with thanksgiving.

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

My Servant, shall justify the many [making them righteous—upright before God, in right standing with Him],
For He shall bear [the responsibility for] their sins.
