¹⁷ Lo, to peace He changed for me bitterness, And Thou hast delighted in my soul without corruption, For Thou hast cast behind Thy back all my sins.

²⁵ I -- I `am' He who is blotting out Thy transgressions for Mine own sake, And thy sins I do not remember.

³⁴ And they do not teach any more Each his neighbour, and each his brother, Saying, Know ye Jehovah, For they all know Me, from their least unto their greatest, An affirmation of Jehovah; For I pardon their iniquity, And of their sin I make mention no more.

⁶ To the cuttings of mountains I have come down, The earth, her bars `are' behind me to the age. And Thou bringest up from the pit my life, O Jehovah my God.

¹³ For Thy kindness `is' great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

³ Jehovah, Thou hast brought up from Sheol my soul, Thou hast kept me alive, From going down `to' the pit.

¹⁸ Who `is' a God like Thee? taking away iniquity, And passing by the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance, He hath not retained for ever His anger, Because He -- He delighteth `in' kindness.

¹⁹ He doth turn back, He pitieth us, He doth subdue our iniquities, And Thou castest into the depths of the sea all their sins.

⁴ I have been reckoned with those going down `to' the pit, I have been as a man without strength.

⁵ Among the dead -- free, As pierced ones lying in the grave, Whom Thou hast not remembered any more, Yea, they by Thy hand have been cut off.

⁶ Thou hast put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in depths.

² Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

² And He doth cause me to come up From a pit of desolation -- from mire of mud, And He raiseth up on a rock my feet, He is establishing my steps.

⁶ And I -- I have said in mine ease, `I am not moved -- to the age.

⁷ O Jehovah, in Thy good pleasure, Thou hast caused strength to remain for my mountain,' Thou hast hidden Thy face -- I have been troubled.

² Through the pride of the wicked, Is the poor inflamed, They are caught in devices that they devised.

¹⁸ And I say, `With my nest I expire, And as the sand I multiply days.'

²⁵ For a fear I feared and it meeteth me, And what I was afraid of doth come to me.

²⁶ I was not safe -- nor was I quiet -- Nor was I at rest -- and trouble cometh!
