²⁸ He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.

²⁴ Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

²² Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.

⁹ Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:

¹ And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

² And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

³ And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

⁹ Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

¹⁷ Behold, for peace 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.

¹⁸ For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.

² The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.

¹⁵ Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

²³ But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.

¹⁹ He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.

²⁰ So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.

¹⁸ He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

²⁸ Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

¹⁶ They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.

²⁰ Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;

¹⁶ Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.
