¹⁷ Behold, `it was' for `my' peace `that' I had great bitterness: But thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; For thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

²⁵ I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake; and I will not remember thy sins.

³⁴ and they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith Jehovah: for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more.

⁶ I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with its bars `closed' upon me for ever: Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.

¹³ For great is thy lovingkindness toward me; And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

³ O Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

¹⁸ Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth over the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in lovingkindness.

¹⁹ He will again have compassion upon us; he will tread our iniquities under foot; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

⁴ I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no help,

⁵ Cast off among the dead, Like the slain that lie in the grave, Whom thou rememberest no more, And they are cut off from thy hand.

⁶ Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the deeps.

² Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah

² He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay; And he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

⁶ As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

⁷ Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong: Thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.

² In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued; Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.

¹⁸ Then I said, I shall die in my nest, And I shall multiply my days as the sand:

²⁵ For the thing which I fear cometh upon me, And that which I am afraid of cometh unto me.

²⁶ I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; But trouble cometh.
