lamo, as other prepositions, normally refers to the closest logically
acceptable noun. Unless there is an overwhelming reason to relate
preposition to a remote noun, the closest noun is your best bet.
In Isaiah 53:8, lamo likely refers to ami, my people. Strictly speaking,
lamo could also relate to "him," the suffering servant; transposition is
possible. Preference is only a matter of interpretation.
