¹¹ I said, I do not see Jah -- Jah! In the land of the living, I do not behold man any more, With the inhabitants of the world.

¹³ I had not believed to look on the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living!

¹⁴ Yea, though thou sayest thou dost not behold Him, Judgment `is' before Him, and stay for Him.

¹⁵ And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity.

⁴ Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness' sake.

⁵ For there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to Thee?

²² And I -- I have said in my haste, `I have been cut off from before Thine eyes,' But Thou hast heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee.

⁸ For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.

⁹ I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living.

⁵ For the living know that they die, and the dead know not anything, and there is no more to them a reward, for their remembrance hath been forgotten.

⁶ Their love also, their hatred also, their envy also, hath already perished, and they have no more a portion to the age in all that hath been done under the sun.
