And David H1732 lifted H5375 up his eyes, H5869 and saw H7200 the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 stand H5975 between H996 the earth H776 and the heaven, H8064 having a drawn H8025 sword H2719 in his hand H3027 stretched H5186 out over H5921 Jerusalem. H3389 Then David H1732 and the elders H2205 of Israel, who were clothed H3680 in sackcloth, H8242 fell H5307 on their faces. H6440

And David H1732 said H559 to God, H430 Is it not I that commanded H559 the people H5971 to be numbered? H4487 even I it is that have sinned H2398 and done evil H7489 indeed; but as for these H428 sheep, H6629 what have they done? H6213 let your hand, H3027 I pray H4994 you, O LORD H3068 my God, H430 be on me, and on my father's H1 house; H1004 but not on your people, H5971 that they should be plagued. H4046

And David's H1732 heart H3820 smote H5221 him after H310 that he had numbered H5608 the people. H5971 And David H1732 said H559 to the LORD, H3068 I have sinned H2398 greatly H3966 in that I have done: H6213 and now, H6258 I beseech H4994 you, O LORD, H3068 take H5674 away H5674 the iniquity H5771 of your servant; H5650 for I have done very H3966 foolishly. H5528

I have sinned; H2398 what H4100 shall I do H6466 to you, O you preserver H5341 of men? H120 why H4100 have you set H7760 me as a mark H4645 against you, so that I am a burden H4853 to myself?

Why H5921 H3651 I abhor H3988 myself, and repent H5162 in dust H6083 and ashes. H665

Wash H3526 me thoroughly H7235 from my iniquity, H5771 and cleanse H5352 me from my sin. H2403

Against you, you only, H905 have I sinned, H2398 and done H6213 this H2063 evil H7451 in your sight: H5869 that you might be justified H6663 when you speak, H1696 and be clear H2135 when you judge. H8199

Then said H559 I, Woe H188 is me! for I am undone; H1820 because H3588 I am a man H376 of unclean H2931 lips, H8193 and I dwell H3427 in the middle H8432 of a people H5971 of unclean H2931 lips: H8193 for my eyes H5869 have seen H7200 the King, H4428 the LORD H3068 of hosts. H6635

And he said, H559 I saw H7200 all H3605 Israel H3478 scattered H6327 on the hills, H2022 as sheep H6629 that have not a shepherd: H7462 and the LORD H3068 said, H559 These H428 have no H3808 master: H113 let them return H7725 every man H376 to his house H1004 in peace. H7965

You have given H5414 us like sheep H6629 appointed for meat; H3978 and have scattered H2219 us among the heathen. H1471

Maschil H4905 of Asaph. H623 O God, H430 why H4100 have you cast H2186 us off for ever? H5331 why does your anger H639 smoke H6225 against the sheep H6629 of your pasture? H4830

Son H1121 of man, H120 prophesy H5012 against H5921 the shepherds H7462 of Israel, H3478 prophesy, H5012 and say H559 to them, Thus H3541 said H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 to the shepherds; H7462 Woe H1945 be to the shepherds H7462 of Israel H3478 that do feed H7462 themselves! should not the shepherds H7462 feed H7462 the flocks? H6629

The diseased H2456 have you not strengthened, H2388 neither H3808 have you healed H7495 that which was sick, H2470 neither H3808 have you bound H2280 up that which was broken, H7665 neither H3808 have you brought H7725 again H7725 that which was driven H5080 away, neither H3808 have you sought H1245 that which was lost; H6 but with force H2394 and with cruelty H6531 have you ruled H7287 them.

My sheep H6629 wandered H7686 through all H3605 the mountains, H2022 and on every H3605 high H7311 hill: H1389 yes, my flock H6629 was scattered H6327 on all H3605 the face H6440 of the earth, H776 and none H369 did search H1875 or seek H1245 after them.

Awake, H5782 O sword, H2719 against H5921 my shepherd, H7462 and against H5921 the man H1397 that is my fellow, H5997 said H5002 the LORD H3068 of hosts: H6635 smite H5221 the shepherd, H7462 and the sheep H6629 shall be scattered: H6327 and I will turn H7725 my hand H3027 on the little H6819 ones.

Now H6258 therefore, I pray H4994 you, let your servant H5650 abide H3427 instead H8478 of the lad H5288 a slave H5650 to my lord; H113 and let the lad H5288 go H5927 up with his brothers. H251

I am G1510 the good G2570 shepherd: G4166 the good G2570 shepherd G4166 gives G5087 his life G5590 for the sheep. G4263

But he that is an hireling, G3411 and not the shepherd, G4166 whose G3739 own G2398 the sheep G4263 are not, sees G2334 the wolf G3074 coming, G2064 and leaves G863 the sheep, G4263 and flees: G5343 and the wolf G3074 catches G726 them, and scatters G4650 the sheep. G4263

Who G3739 his own G848 self G846 bore G399 our sins G266 in his own body G4983 on G1909 the tree, G3586 that we, being dead G581 to sins, G266 should live G2198 to righteousness: G1343 by whose G3739 stripes G3468 you were healed. G2390

For you were as sheep G4263 going G4105 astray; G4105 but are now G3568 returned G1994 to the Shepherd G4166 and Bishop G1985 of your G5216 souls. G5590
