⁴ Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

¹² As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

²³ My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

¹³ For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

²² The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

⁴ And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

³ For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.

⁵ For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

⁹ And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

¹² Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

¹¹ Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.

¹² For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

¹⁹ He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:

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

²¹ His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.

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

²³ If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:

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

²⁵ His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:

²⁶ He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.

²⁷ He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;

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

²⁹ Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,

³⁰ To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.

¹⁶ The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
