¹¹ I said, I shall not see Jehovah, `even' Jehovah in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.

¹³ `I had fainted', unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living.

¹⁴ How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not, The cause is before him, and thou waitest for him!

¹⁵ But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, Neither doth he greatly regard arrogance;

⁴ Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul: Save me for thy lovingkindness' sake.

⁵ For in death there is no remembrance of thee: In Sheol who shall give thee thanks?

²² As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: Nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications When I cried unto thee.

⁸ For thou hast delivered my soul from death, Mine eyes from tears, `And' my feet from falling.

⁹ I will walk before Jehovah In the land of the living.

⁵ For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

⁶ As well their love, as their hatred and their envy, is perished long ago; neither have they any more a portion for ever in anything that is done under the sun.
