⁴ Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee -- kindness and mercies,

¹² As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.

²³ My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to Thee, And my soul that Thou hast redeemed,

¹³ For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living!

²² Jehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate!

⁴ and at the manifestation of the chief Shepherd, ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.

³ For Thou puttest before him blessings of goodness, Thou settest on his head a crown of fine gold.

⁵ And causest him to lack a little of Godhead, And with honour and majesty compassest him.

⁹ and they sing a new song, saying, `Worthy art thou to take the scroll, and to open the seals of it, because thou wast slain, and didst redeem us to God in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

¹² Happy the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those loving Him.

¹¹ Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.

¹² For Thou blessest the righteous, O Jehovah, As a buckler with favour dost compass him!

¹⁹ And he hath been reproved With pain on his bed, And the strife of his bones `is' enduring.

²⁰ And his life hath nauseated bread, And his soul desirable food.

²¹ His flesh is consumed from being seen, And high are his bones, they were not seen!

²² And draw near to the pit doth his soul, And his life to those causing death.

²³ If there is by him a messenger, An interpreter -- one of a thousand, To declare for man his uprightness:

²⁴ Then He doth favour him and saith, `Ransom him from going down to the pit, I have found an atonement.'

²⁵ Fresher `is' his flesh than a child's, He returneth to the days of his youth.

²⁶ He maketh supplication unto God, And He accepteth him. And he seeth His face with shouting, And He returneth to man His righteousness.

²⁷ He looketh on men, and saith, `I sinned, And uprightness I have perverted, And it hath not been profitable to me.

²⁸ He hath ransomed my soul From going over into the pit, And my life on the light looketh.'

²⁹ Lo, all these doth God work, Twice -- thrice with man,

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

¹⁶ the Messenger who is redeeming me from all evil doth bless the youths, and my name is called upon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and they increase into a multitude in the midst of the land.'
