¹⁷ I do not die, but live, And recount the works of Jah,

²⁸ And I -- nearness of God to me `is' good, I have placed in the Lord Jehovah my refuge, To recount all Thy works!

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

¹² Art not Thou of old, O Jehovah, my God, my Holy One? We do not die, O Jehovah, For judgment Thou hast appointed it, And, O Rock, for reproof Thou hast founded it.

²² And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with singing.

¹⁶ Lord, by these do `men' live, And by all in them `is' the life of my spirit, And Thou savest me, make me also to live,

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.

¹⁸ For Sheol doth not confess Thee, Death doth not praise Thee, Those going down to the pit hope not for Thy truth.

¹⁹ The living, the living, he doth confess Thee.

²⁰ Like myself to-day -- a father to sons Doth make known of Thy faithfulness, O Jehovah -- to save me: And my songs we sing all days of our lives In the house of Jehovah.'

⁷ For none of us to himself doth live, and none to himself doth die;

⁸ for both, if we may live, to the Lord we live; if also we may die, to the Lord we die; both then if we may live, also if we may die, we are the Lord's;

⁹ for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord.

⁴ and Jesus having heard, said, `This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'

¹⁰ Jehovah hath brought forth our righteousnesses, Come, and we recount in Zion the work of Jehovah our God.

⁴ Generation to generation praiseth Thy works, And Thy mighty acts they declare.

¹³ With my lips I have recounted All the judgments of Thy mouth.

¹⁷ God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I declare Thy wonders.

¹⁸ And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might.

¹⁰ Thy righteousness I have not concealed In the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation I have told, I have not hidden Thy kindness and Thy truth, To the great assembly.

⁵ Much hast Thou done, Jehovah my God; Thy wonders and Thy thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange unto Thee, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.
