So I will give him a place with great people. He will share rewards with strong people. He gave his life to death. People counted him with sinners. He carried many people’s sins. He prayed for the sinners.

So I’ll honor him among the great. He’ll share the victory with the strong—because he poured out his life to death, was counted among rebels, carried the sins of many, and stood in the gap for the guilty.
