²⁴ I said, "My God, don't take me away in the midst of my days. Your years are throughout all generations.

¹² Aren't you from everlasting, Yahweh my God, my Holy One? We will not die. Yahweh, you have appointed him for judgment. You, Rock, have established him to punish.

¹³ Oh spare me, that I may recover strength, Before I go away, and be no more."

¹² But you, Yahweh, will abide forever; Your renown endures to all generations.

²⁶ Behold, God is great, and we don't know him. The number of his years is unsearchable.

⁷ But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.

¹ > Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.

² Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever you had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

¹⁰ I said, In the noontide of my days I shall go into the gates of Sheol: I am deprived of the residue of my years.

¹¹ I said, I shall not see Yah, Yah in the land of the living: I shall see man no more with the inhabitants of the world.

¹² My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me as a shepherd's tent: I have rolled up, like a weaver, my life; he will cut me off from the loom: From day even to night will you make an end of me.

¹³ I quieted [myself] until morning; as a lion, so he breaks all my bones: From day even to night will you make an end of me.

¹⁴ Like a swallow [or] a crane, so did I chatter; I did moan as a dove; my eyes fail [with looking] upward: Lord, I am oppressed, be my collateral.

¹⁵ What shall I say? he has both spoken to me, and himself has done it: I shall go softly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.

¹⁶ Lord, by these things men live; Wholly therein is the life of my spirit: You restore me, and cause me to live.

¹⁷ Behold, [it was] for [my] peace [that] I had great bitterness: But you have in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; For you have cast all my sins behind your back.

¹⁸ For Sheol can't praise you, death can't celebrate you: Those who go down into the pit can't hope for your truth.

¹⁹ The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do this day: The father to the children shall make known your truth.

²⁰ Yahweh is [ready] to save me: Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments All the days of our life in the house of Yahweh.

²¹ Now Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a plaster on the boil, and he shall recover.

²² Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of Yahweh?

⁴ John, to the seven assemblies that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from God, who is and who was and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne;

⁸ "I am the Alpha and the Omega,{TR adds "the Beginning and the End"}" says the Lord God,{TR omits "God"} "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
